A three-day symposium exploring the history and legacy of Japanese American incarceration in the American West. When painful histories are socially and even legally contested, what is the role of the artist and public historian? What does a new American memorial for Japanese Americans in the West look like? And, when it comes to divisive perspectives of our shared past, how do we both commemorate and critique the same events? Join in the discussion with Dr. Stephanie Hinnershitz, Senior Historian from the National World War II Museum, Japanese American Incarceration: The Camps and Coerced Labor in World War II.

This program is supported in part by the NEH United We Stand Initiative.
