SUMMARY:Enemy Alien Files: Hidden Stories of WWII at Angel Island State Park
DESCRIPTION:LAST DAY At ANGEL ISLAND SUNDAY January 29 \nThe National Japanese American Historical Society is happy to say that Enemy Alien Files: Hidden Stories of World War II has been extended at Angel Island State Park at the Angel Island Immigration Station until the end of January. \n\n\nThe Enemy Alien Files: Hidden Stories of World War II exhibit presents the experience of Italians\, Germans and Japanese immigrants in the US and from Latin America during WWII. It explores the treatment of over 31\,000 “enemy aliens” including their exclusion\, forced removal\, internment\, use in prisoner exchanges\, and deportation. The exhibit experience reminds us of the fragile nature of our constitutional and human rights in times of international and domestic crisis as well as the human impact of government policies in the name of “national security.” \n\nProduced in cooperation with the German American Internee Coalition\, Italian American Studies Association: Western Regional Chapter\, and the Japanese Peruvian Oral History Project and made possible by a grant from the National Parks Service\, Japanese American Confinement Site Grant Program.

SUMMARY:Manzanar Fishing Club Screening & GYOTAKU FISH PRINT DEMONSTRATION
DESCRIPTION:Manzanar Fishing Club screening.- FREE – Limited seating\nSaturday\, August 6\, 2022\, 6PM -8:00PM\nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery (1684 Post ST San Francisco CA 94115)\nco-sponsored with the SF Nisei Fishing Club\nTHE MANZANAR FISHING CLUB is a feature length documentary that chronicles the WWII internment of Japanese-American from a unique perspective: through the eyes of those who defied the armed guards\, barbed wire and searchlights to fish for trout in the surrounding waters of the Eastern Sierra. By emphasizing the evacuees’ personal stories it is the first internment film to go beyond the confinement itself\, and instead highlight values – courage\, responsibility and cooperation – that enable the human spirit. Interviews with noted experts provide new insights in to the social political backdrop of the internment. This is the untold story of those who refuse to knuckle under and risked it all to go fishing just like other ordinary Americans.\n\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\nGYOTAKU FISH PRINT DEMONSTRATION By Kenny Ina\nSunday\, August 7\, 2022\, 12-3PM \nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery (1684 Post ST San Francisco CA 94115)\nCo-sponsored by the SF Nisei Fishing Club

SUMMARY:Farm Labor While Confined
DESCRIPTION:War Relocation Authority Incarceree Farm Labor Teacher Education Project\n  \n– Free Online Workshop for 4th Grade to 12th Grade Humanities\, History\, and Social Studies Teachers –\nDuring World War II\, the federal government forcibly removed people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast and imprisoned them in American concentration camps. A little-known part of their story is that the War Relocation Authority (WRA) expected them to grow food to feed themselves\, contribute to the war effort\, and make barren lands flourish under the most difficult of circumstances. How did the incarcerees grapple with these demands? \nMark your calendar for our next dynamic workshop – Farm Labor While Confined. Our case studies will take us from concentration camp farms to sugar beet fields to potato harvests across five states. We will focus on six incarceration sites: Tule Lake (CA)\, Minidoka (ID)\, Gila River (AZ)\, Poston (AZ)\, Amache (CO)\, and Heart Mountain (WY). Part of our discussion will address the Temporary Farm Leave Program and the Farm Labor Camps in which incarcerees worked on private farms and large agricultural tracts that were facing labor shortages due to the war. \nJoin your colleagues for open-ended inquiry into this important historic moment when the personal experience of imprisoned people of Japanese ancestry intersects with 1940s US labor history. What is the legacy of their agricultural labor on the Western American landscape? \n  \nJoin your colleagues for open-ended inquiry into Japanese American incarcerees’ farm labor during World War II \nThese two-day\, 3-1/2 hour online or 6 hour in-person interactive workshops\, (length depends on regional location)\, explores our topic through examination of primary source documents\, case studies\, images\, and secondary sources in the Farm Labor While Confined curriculum. Sessions will be broken up with 15-minute breaks. \nThe curriculum will focus the following:\n– Farming in the War Relocation Centers\n– Temporary Farm Labor\n– Department of Agriculture Farm Labor Camps \nSeparate curriculum is designed elementary and for secondary students. \nLimited Space!

SUMMARY:We are LGBT Nikkei Extended to July 15th
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nImage is “A Glimmer” By Julia LaChica (2020)\n\n\n\nJulia LaChica is a queer Japanese-Filipino American Visual Artist. Born in San Francisco and raised at North Ping Yuen Public Housing. She attended public school during “Operation Integrate”—-desegregation busing— taking her from Chinatown to Potrero Hill where she would spend time with classmates at the Sunnydale Public Housing Project. \nFor lack of a better word\, Julia was a latchkey kid\, deeply immersed in street culture and free to play without supervision.  Her work is deeply informed by her upbringing as a Nisei daughter and her life within BIPOC and LGBTQI communities of San Francisco and Oakland. \nAfter several years as a working artist\, Julia returned to school and received her BFA in Industrial Design from CCA\, worked as a Product Designer for 20 years and is now dedicating all her time to Visual Arts. Julia works in Acrylic\, Mixed Media Collage\, Assemblage Art Printmaking and Digital Art. \n\n\nCuratorial Statement:\n\nExhibition dates: May 14 – July 15 \nThere have always been queer Japanese Americans. Since the earliest days of Japanese migration to the United States\, there have been Japanese Americans who defy traditional gender and sexualtiy. Whether it be the poet Yone Noguchi or 1960s activist Kiyoshi Kuromiya\, queer Japanese Americans have been among us. The Japanese American Citizens League famously became the first non-LGBT oriented civil rights organization to endorse gay marriage in 1994. \nYet\, there seems to be an invisible wall between the two identities. \nWhen operating within the Japanese American community\, the support for LGBTQ people seems to be an outward show of support rather than an embracement. Thus\, the identities almost seem mutually exclusive. As American queer scholar Eve Sedgwick described an “epistemology of the closet”\, Nikkei scholar Andrew Leong describes an “epistemology of the pocket.” As LGBTQ people in America have “a closet” to be themselves\, being a minority within a minority affords queer Nikkei even less space. \nThis exhibition aims to bring that issue to light and radically give Nikkei space to queer Nikkei. By doing so\, the exhibition intends to not only send a message that LGBTQ Nikkei they are welcome and embraced within San Francisco’s Japantown community\, but to show the greater Japanese American community that LGBTQ people are amongst them. \nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery 1684 Post St San Francisco CA 94115 \nEmail: njahs@njahs.org \nPhone # 415-921-5007 \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:NJAHS presents Oshogatsu Festival Posters Exhibit - Curated by Rich Tokeshi
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco’s Japantown Art & Media (JAM) Workshop was a community art non-profit organization that operated from 1977 through 1999. Many of JAM’s screen-printed posters were devoted to announcing Japanese community events\, which included the annual Oshogatsu Festival\, where people gathered – and continue to gather – to participate in traditional Japanese New Year celebrations\, including mochi- pounding\, amateur sumo tournaments\, cultural performances\, and arts and craft booths featuring Asian zodiac themed shirts.\n\n\n\nMochi is shown in many of these posters as it symbolizes the wish for a long life during Oshogatsu. Over the years as the Asian Zodiac cycles a new animal is used as the primary theme for each festival\, and for many years the dominant theme for its respective poster.\n\n\n\nThese colorful and bold screen-printed works of art express the innovative individual styles of their creators.\n\n\nClick here to watch
