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? A public site visit to Topaz for interested community members, descendants, and educators. This program is supported in part by the NEH United We Stand Initiative.
