Hidden History: Japanese Internment & Other Asian American Witch Hunts

Join us for this hour-long, virtual presentation where we will discuss how this formula can be applied to an important twentieth century example, the internment of Japanese Americans following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The fear and suspicion generated by this tragic event led to the forced removal of 100,000 Japanese Americans to internment camps in the country’s interior. Suddenly, all Japanese Americans were viewed as suspicious and were treated as enemies of the country. During this presentation we will discuss the environment of fear that led to this drastic action, the experience of internment, and the long overdue apology issued by the United States decades after the fact.

The event will be hosted as a free webinar on Zoom on August 4, at 6:30 EST. Please note, our Zoom room can host a fixed number of participants, so the presentation will be first come first admittance. If you are unable to attend live, this event will also be recorded and shared on our YouTube page for future accessibility.
