Voices of Change Part IV: The Japanese-American Experience

Food line at noon at Manzanar Californian Japanese internment relocation center

Co-presented with the Longmont Multicultural Action Committee

Members of Longmont’s longstanding Japanese-American community share their family histories and reflect on the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of anyone of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast.

Featuring members of the Mayeda, Kanemoto, and Tanaka families
Moderated by Justin Veach from the Longmont Museum

This was a very personal and engaging evening, with many photos of their family’s history in Longmont. Watch the recording on YouTube:
