SUMMARY:OPENING RECEPTION - ONLY THE OAKS REMAIN
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOpening Reception Date & Time: June 10\, 2018 from 12:00 – 2:00 pm\nLocation: 640 Old Mason St\, Presidio of San Francisco\, CA 94129 \nJoin us on June 10th\, 2018 12-2PM for the Opening Reception and program for Only The Oaks Remain: The Story of Tuna Canyon Detention Station. \nAdmission free with program attendance. Featuring speakers Nancy Oda\, Grace Shimizu\, and Larry DiStasi with perspectives on the WWII Department of Justice internment experience. \nExhibition Date & Time: June 9\, 2018 – January 31\, 2019 from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM\nLocation: 640 Old Mason St\, Presidio of San Francisco\, CA 94129 \n\n\nOnly the Oaks Remain: The Story of Tuna Canyon Detention Station tells the true stories of those targeted as dangerous enemy aliens and imprisoned in the Tuna Canyon Detention Station\, located in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles\, by the US Department of Justice during World War II. Rare artifacts such as photographs\, letters\, and diaries bring the experiences of prisoners—who included Japanese\, German\, and Italian immigrants and extradited Japanese Peruvians—to life. \nDuring the decade before World War II\, the US government compiled lists of people they saw as potential risks to national security. When the war began\, Presidential Proclamations 2525\, 2526\, and 2527 authorized the FBI and other agencies to arrest such individuals—mostly spiritual\, educational\, business\, and community leaders from the Japanese\, German\, and Italian immigrant communities. The government also rounded up Japanese and other individuals who had previously been forcibly removed from Latin America. \nFollowing the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7\, 1941\, the US Department of Justice took over a vacated Civilian Conservation Corps camp in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles and converted it into a detention station by installing twelve-foot-high barbed wire fences\, guard posts\, and flood lights. The Tuna Canyon Detention Station became one of many initial confinement sites set up by the government. Targeted individuals were quickly arrested in their homes\, leaving behind confused and frightened families; most detainees were later sent to Department of Justice or Army internment camps. \nOnly the Oaks Remain commemorates the history of the Tuna Canyon Detention Station and seeks to educate the public about the violation of civil rights that took place there. The exhibition features photographs\, letters\, diaries\, interviews\, declassified government documents\, and other rare artifacts that serve to illuminate a largely untold story that goes beyond the more widely-known story of the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans. A highlight is an Honor Wall that bears each detainee’s name\, creating a contemplative space for viewers. By taking an unprecedented look at war’s impact on a disparate group of detainees\, examining striking similarities as well as differences among them\, the exhibition encourages present and future generations to learn from our nation’s mistakes. \nOnly the Oaks Remain is organized by the Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising public awareness about the site’s history. It is working to develop a permanent Tuna Canyon Detention Station Memorial\, which will include a plaque and educational posts installed along a walking path lined with mature oak trees\, to further educate future generations. For more information\, visit tunacanyon.org. \nThis project was organized by the Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition; funded\, in part\, by a grant from the US Department of the Interior\, National Park Service\, Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program; and sponsored by the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center.

SUMMARY:Finding Your Japanese American Roots
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n\nRSVP- S.F.\nRSVP- EAST BAY\n\n\nJune 27\, 2018 at NJAHS at 1684 Post Street\, San Francisco\, 6 pm – 7 pm.\n\n\nJune 28\, 2018 at Oakland Asian Cultural Center\, 388 9th Street\, Oakland\,\n7 pm – 9 pm.\n\nFinding Your Japanese American Roots   \nThe National Japanese American Historical Society will host a one-hour workshop for Nikkei interested in researching and connecting with family in Japan. ” U.S.-Japan CONNECT!” has been working for the past five years helping Nikkei families locate information about their ancestors as well as contacting living relatives in Japan. \nIt all started during an informal conversation between Satsuki Ina\, raised in San Francisco\, and colleague\, Hiroshi Yanagisawa in Nagoya\, Japan\, that led to a life-changing meeting with Satsuki’s mother’s family in Nagano-ken. Since that time\, many requests from Nikkei have led to similar searches and reunification of long lost relatives. Dr. Ina pointed out that\, “a tragic consequence of the war between Japan and the U.S. was the cut-off between Japanese immigrants to the U.S. and their descendants\, from their historical and ancestral families in Japan. And the intense Americanization process that followed the war rendered many second and almost all third generation Japanese Americans no longer able to speak or read Japanese. As a result\, many of us have been unable to search our family roots in Japan.” \nMr. Yanagisawa\, a graduate from Illinois State University and long-time staff at Seto City\, Board of Education\, will be in the Bay Area to conduct two one-hour workshops to explain the process he has developed for locating families in Japan. Anyone interested in pursuing a family search in Japan can complete an Intake Form to determine possibilities based on information available. Cost and timing will be discussed at the workshop. \n  \nCo-presenter at both sites will be the California Genealogical Society. On the 28th\, the Oakland Asian Cultural Center will be the host and co-presenter. Also on the 28th\, Marisa Louie Lee\, experienced genealogist and former archivist at the National Archives and Records Administration office in San Bruno\, will speak about Japanese American records available at the National Archives to which researchers can get free access. \nQuestions?
