SUMMARY:Virtual Broadcasts: Kayla Isomura of The Suitcase Project - In the Era of Covid-19
DESCRIPTION:Click here to watch\nSPECIAL ZOOM BROADCAST EVENT \n\n\n\nFriday\, May 22\, at 6PM -7:00PM Pacific \n Standard Time \n\n\n\nAn International Conversation with Yonsei Canadian curator /photographer Kayla Isomura of The Suitcase Project – In the Era of Covid-19.  FREE. \nClick here to REGISTER for the ZOOM Broadcast \n\n\n\nThe Suitcase Project\, photographed by Kayla Isomura\, made its debut in February 16\, 2020 at the NJAHS Peace Gallery. With the onset of the Covid19  pandemic and mandatory shelter in place restrictions\,\,this exhibit takes on deeper universal meaning worldwide. Join us in conservation with curator\, photographer Kayla Isomura and her subjects. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit and programming is made possible by a generous grant from the Henri & Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation\, the SF Grants for the Arts and matching support from the members of the Nat’l Japanese American Historical Society. While we are still sheltering in place\, NJAHS makes the photographs in the current exhibit available on line and presents Kayla Isomura in a curator’s conversation about her work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      -More- \n         Past meets present in a new exhibit at the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre\, as more than 50 fourth and fifth generation Japanese Canadians and Americans share what they would pack if forcibly removed from their homes today. \n\n\n\n        Context of the Exhibit. Stemming from the history of Japanese Canadians and Americans during the Second World War\, this multimedia exhibit highlights why this history is relevant more than 75 years later. \n\n\n\n          “What began as a photography project\, capturing subjects in their homes\, turned into conversations about contemporary issues\, whether political or personal\,” said Isomura\, 25\, who identifies as fourth generation Japanese Canadian. “In today’s landscape\, Japanese Canadians and Americans don’t necessarily face the same degree of racism and discrimination as our ancestors. However\, we remain affected by this history in many ways.” \n\n\n\n          “Struggling to understand and see ourselves is one aspect of that\, as well as recognizing the ongoing displacement and discrimination other minority groups and people of color face today.” \n\n\n\nIn 1942\, approximately 23\,000 Japanese Canadians and more than 100\,000 Japanese Americans living on the west coast were uprooted from their homes and placed in internment camps or incarceration. \n\n\n\nSubjects for The Suitcase Project were given 24 to 48 hours notice to assemble their things\, similar to what many Japanese Canadians faced in 1942. \n\n\n\n           “In the Canadian context\, Japanese Canadians were not allowed to return home and their possessions were sold by the government or looted\,” said Isomura. “If you were going to lose everything—your home\, your business\, your memories and personal possessions—what would you take outside of things for survival? Or would you focus on your practical needs?” \n\n\n\n             According to Isomura\, Japanese Canadians were limited to weight restrictions while Japanese Americans were limited to only what they could carry. \n\n\n\n            “I never knew what my grandparents or great grandparents packed with them when they were interned\, so I wondered what I could survive with sentimentally and how others would interpret this idea\,” she said. “The original idea wasn’t just about what or how people would pack\, but also what they are forced to leave behind.” \n\n\n\n             The Suitcase Project subjects range from infants to 51-year-olds\, and they were photographed in the Lower Mainland\, Vancouver Island and Western Washington. \n\n\n\nKayla hopes to collect more stories and subjects in the US.

SUMMARY:THE SUITCASE PROJECT at the NJAHS Peace Gallery- Due to Covid-19 our office is closed
DESCRIPTION:THE SUITCASE PROJECT\nBy Kayla Isomura\nWhat would you pack if forcibly removed from your home today? \nThe Suitcase Project is a multimedia exhibition asking yonsei and gosei (fourth and fifth generation) Japanese Canadians and Americans what they would pack if uprooted from their homes in a moment’s notice. \nWhile these descendants of the internment and incarceration may never have to endure the same forced uprooting as their ancestors\, Kayla Isomura’s work examines how they\, and those descended from families who experienced other forms of discrimination\, remain affected by this history today. More than 80 subjects ranging in age and background share their stories from cities in British Columbia\, Canada and Washington\, US through a series of photographs\, short films and interviews. \n\nClick here for more information\n \n\n\n\nWhere: National Japanese American Historical Society Peace Gallery 1684 Post Street. San Francisco\, CA. 94115 \nFebruary 1\, 2020 – July 18\, 2020 \nOpen Monday – Friday\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm And First Saturdays of the Month\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm

SUMMARY:NEW! DISLOCATION & DIVERGENCE: E. O. 9066 at the MIS Historic Learning Center
DESCRIPTION:NEW INSTALLATION- Dislocation & Divergence: Causes & Consequences of E.O. 9066\nat the MIS Historic Learning Center\n2020\nNJAHS presents 3 new wall-installations capturing 5 episodes of World War II: War Clouds Brewing\, America Enters the War\, Exclusion & Removal\, Hidden Truths\, Hidden Treasures\nThis completes a two & a half year exhibition project funded in part by grants from the Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant program administered by the National Park Service and the JA Community Foundation and CA Civil Liberties Public Education Program.\nThe period scenarios with artifacts allow for an intimate “walk back in time\,” matched with IPAD pro interactive technology which allows for a “deeper” dive into the analysis of what happened and why. There’s a new addition that looks at the discovery of key evidence from the 1980’s coram nobis legal cases of Korematsu\, Yasui\, & Hirabayashi which revealed suppression of evidence\, a cover up\, and fraud upon the Supreme Court. Step inside and discover!\n                    \n                           \n9-19-2018: The National Japanese American Historical Society announced the completion of a simulated horse stall barrack for its Dislocation and Divergence new installation at the MIS Historic Learning Center\, located at Crissy Field in the Presidio of San Francisco. The mock-up replicates the WWII experience of some 110\,000 Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes due to military orders pursuant to the signing of Executive Order 9066.\nReal Stories\nAccording to project director Rosalyn Tonai\, “We decided to introduce audiences to the compelling experiences of two families\, one of famed artist and essayist Miné Okubo\, and the other of MIS First Class Nisei soldier Tsuneo Gary Kadani.” Miné Okubo\, in her illustrated publication Citizen 13660\, relays her personal removal and incarceration with painstaking detail to a horse stall at Tanforan “Assembly” Center\, in San Bruno\, California.  “We wanted to replicate the cramped quarters and the sense of humiliation felt by the author\, according to Tonai. In addition\, the plight of Gary Kadani’s parents are revealed in his oral history excerpts compiled in First Class: Nisei Linguists of World War II\, Origins of the Military Intelligence Service Language Program of World War II (David Swift\, Jr.\, NJAHS\, 2008).\n\nTsuneo Gary Kadani was an early enlistee into the US Army. A month prior to Pearl Harbor\, he was assigned to the top secret US Army intelligence school at the Presidio of San Francisco in preparation for war against Japan. When WWII broke out\, he along with 59 other MIS servicemen continued their studies at the Presidio while their families were subjected to curfew and forcibly removed from their home\, and incarcerated in makeshift\, hastily built barracks and horse stalls in fairgrounds and racetracks.  Gary disobeyed curfew\, and drove to see his parents at the Salinas fairgrounds. His famous quote at the front of the display recounts his feelings that day “Then came the saddest day of my life…They wouldn’t let me into the camp. My parents were sleeping in a horse stall! It smelled so bad\, they couldn’t sleep\, so my mother asked me to get all the Clorox I could find.”  A vintage 1940’s brown glass Clorox bleach bottle helps depict the circumstances in which many Japanese Americans found themselves.\nReal Objects & Evidence\nAdding to the overall visitor experience is Miné Okubo’s illustrations from Citizen 13660. The visitor can follow along\, seeing Miné’s camp life depictions and reading excerpts of her journal\, through digital displays on an iPadPro. Interwoven into the pages of Citizen 13660 are National Archives photographs of life in repurposed horse stalls and barracks of Tanforan\, Santa Anita\, and Salinas “Assembly Centers.” The iPad also helps guide audiences to explore the stories behind real camp artifacts on display inside the horse stall barrack\, many of them\, personal items belonging for former inmates. Some featured objects include Ken Nihei’s US Army-issued military green wool blanket laid over a hay-stuffed mattress\, personal shaving kit\, 4 year old Pat Kimura’s of Maryknoll Children’s Home child’s suitcase\, a diaper pail\, and a pair of mud- caked hand-carved Japanese wooden clogs (geta).\n \nSupplementing the Horse stall barrack display is a comprehensive Camp Map of where Japanese Americans were incarcerated. The map includes the ten War Relocation Authority centers\, the fifteen “Assembly Centers – the temporary detention facilities.as well as the numerous Department of Justice internment camps for Japanese immigrants deemed “enemy aliens.” \n\n\nPerseverance\n\n“We wanted to show how some inmates coped within the stifling conditions of their confinement\,” noted Tonai. While many were subjected to family separations due to the earlier FBI raids\, and met with unhealthy conditions of open sewers\, others tried to find solace relying on friends and community. Among the few belongings of only what they could carry\, many Issei women stashed their vegetable garden seeds into their pockets. In time\, little front porch “victory” gardens would sprout along the stoops of barracks. Later\, inmates were moved again in six months to the permanent camps in desolate regions of the US. Despite the trauma\, children would find time to play\, collect and trade marbles. One former incarceree\, Toru Saito\, rediscovered his prized marbles buried beneath the silt desert floor where the stoop of his barrack once stood. Toru’s marbles and his story of survival are on display.\nThe horse stall barrack replica of the Dislocation and Divergence new installation is now on display at the Military Intelligence Historic Learning Center\, at the Presidio of San Francisco\, Building 640\, 640 Mason Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94129. The interpretative center is open to the public. General admission is $10. Admission is free to veterans\, NJAHS members\, and children 12 and under. Free education programs are available to teachers. The project has been funded by a grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program\, administered by the California State Library and the JA Community Foundation.\nMarye Kimoto\nKaoru Ito\nMiho Endo Ohashi\n\n###

SUMMARY:TRIBUTE TO ASIAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICAN VETERANS 2019
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of our Veterans Day Event committee\, we are writing to you to invite you to “TRIBUTE TO ASIAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICAN VETERANS 2019” our annual Veterans Day weekend ceremony and concert featuring Anthony Brown  and Janice Mirikitani. On Saturday\, November 9\, 2019\, 10 – 12 noon\, followed by a private lunch reception to celebrate our veterans who served in World War II\, Korea\, and Vietnam. The event is hosted at the Military Intelligence Service Historic Learning Center\, Building 640\, 640 Mason Street\, at Crissy Field\, in the Presidio of San Francisco\, CA 94129. \nAs proud descendants of the veterans of these wars\, we are honored to share in the tribute of these veterans at the MIS Historic Learning Center! We have a strong connection to this historically significant site\, and vow to preserve the legacy of valor and sacrifice for future generations of Americans. As you know\, Building 640 is the site of the original US Army language school where Nisei linguist soldiers secretly trained one month prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor on November 1\, 1941. From its humble beginnings\, the school grew to what is now known as the renowned Defense Language Institute and Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) at the Presidio of Monterey. \nToday\, we call attention to these men and women who showed through their sacrifice their loyalty to America\, in spite of their familys’ incarceration during WWII. A special ceremony will feature the US Honor Guard led by Sgt. Stan Kamiya (RET)\, keynote speaker DLI Commandant Greg Hausman\, with representatives with the National Park Service and The Presidio Trust\, followed by a concert. In honoring our very special guests of the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team\, the Military Intelligence Service\, and our Asian Pacific Islanders veterans who served in the Korean and Vietnam wars\, please join us in paying tribute to them by attending this Veterans Day event or by making a gift in honor or in memory of your loved one.

SUMMARY:TEACHER WORKSHOPS-for Grades 4-12
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop WE ARE ALL AMERICANS that provides a backdrop to the special exhibition Then They Came for Me: Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties (https://thentheycame.org/). The exhibition examines a terrifying time in U.S. history when the federal government scapegoated and indefinitely detained 120\,000 people of Japanese ancestry\, and draws parallels to tactics chillingly resurgent today. The workshops provide greater historical and cultural context to the exhibition and invites inquiry into this dark chapter in American history. What was the chronology that led to the decision to forcibly remove Japanese Americans\, two-thirds of whom were American citizens\, from the West Coast? How did Japanese Americans respond to the violation of their civil liberties? And what\, as a nation\, have we learned that can help us address the present-day issues of immigration\, racism\, and mass incarceration? This workshop is similar to the February 2\, 2019\, San Jose Workshop. Funded in part by the Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant\, administered by the National Park Service. \nWorkshop participants will receive:\n• A $50 honorarium for each workshop.\n• Support for a class study trip to the exhibition Then They Came for Me at the Presidio\n• Teacher curriculum\, resources\, and strategies for guiding student inquiry\n• Continental breakfast and light lunch \nWorkshop Details\nThen They Came for Me: The Legacy of Japanese American Incarceration 1947 to the Present (See page 2 for more info)\nLocation: Military Intelligence Service (MIS) Historical Learning Center 640 Mason St. The Presidio San Francisco\, CA 94129\nSpeaker: Don Tamaki\nTour: MIS & Then They Came for Me\nDate: April 27\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM\nWe will send you info for free tours and bus support when you register. \nFor information email: grace@njahs.org \nDownload Application for Here

SUMMARY:Traveling Exhibit- Then They Came for Me
DESCRIPTION:Then They Came for Me: \nIncarceration of Japanese Americans\nDuring WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties \nJanuary 18 – May 27\, 2019 \nDownload info here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHEN:\nJanuary 18 – May 27\, 2019\nPublic Reception: January 18\, 2018\, 7-9 p.m.\nVisiting hours: Wednesday – Sunday\, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\nAdmission is free and open to the public\n\n\nWHERE:\n100 Montgomery Street\nThe Presidio\, San Francisco\nHome of Futures Without Violence\n\n\nWHAT:\nThen They Came for Me: Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties is a multimedia exhibition featuring imagery\n\n\n\nby noted American photographers Dorothea Lange\, Clem Albers and Ansel Adams along with photographers commissioned by the U.S. government’s War Relocation Authority. Presented by the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation in partnership with the National Japanese American Historical Society and J-Sei\, the exhibition tells the story of the forced removal of 120\,000 Japanese American citizens and residents from their homes during WWII\, without due process or other constitutional protections. Executive Order 9066\, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19\, 1942 set in motion the incarceration of all Americans of Japanese ancestry living on or near the West Coast. More than 75 years later this dark chapter illuminates new challenges brought on by fear mongering and racism at the highest levels of the U.S. government as seen in today’s state-sanctioned anti-immigrant fervor and the Muslim Ban. The exhibition’s venue at the Presidio of San Francisco holds deep significance because in 1942\, the military proclamations and Civilian Eviction Orders leading to the mass removal and incarceration were issued from the Presidio-based Western Defense Command. \nThen They Came for Me presents this historical event from multiple perspectives. Drawing upon the powerful images uncovered from the National Archives for the book Un-American: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II by Chicago-based photo historians Richard Cahan and Michael Williams\, the exhibition features works documenting the eviction of Japanese Americans from their homes and their subsequent lives in the incarceration camps. Among the commissioned works\, the exhibition also presents images of daily life in the camps by artists and inmates Toyo Miyatake and Miné Okubo. Also included are photographs by contemporary photographer Paul Kitagaki Jr.\, whose work on this subject was recently published in National Geographic. \nCombined with additional artifacts made by incarcerees\, historical documents\, videos and a rich array of cultural\, historical\, curatorial and political programs the exhibition illuminates this historical event from several vantage points that includes the rise of state-sanctioned anti-Japanese sentiment in the late 19th century\, conditions within the camps\, the irreplaceable loss of many Japanese Americans’ homes and personal property\, the resettlement process\, and Japanese American postwar activism fueled by the experience of wartime incarceration. \nThen They Came for Me will host a robust series of programs including events featuring author Duncan Williams with the musician scholars No No Boy\, Kambara + Dancers\, and a discussion about tracking down the subjects of Dorothea Lange’s photographs with photo historians Richard Cahan and Michael Williams and Lange’s official biographer\, Elizabeth Partridge. Additional programming will include discussions on the current state of U.S. immigrant detention camps\, the Muslim Ban and rise of Islamophobic hate crimes\, film screenings\, music\, family activities and more. \nThen They Came for Me travels from its second showing at The International Center of Photography in New York (2017-18) following its debut at Alphawood Gallery in Chicago (2017). The upcoming third iteration will offer a look at the incarceration specific to the West Coast. \nThe exhibition is designed by Tomomi Itakura of i-k design\, formerly the Director of Exhibition Design at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Senior Designer at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston.\n\n\nWHO:\nThen They Came for Me is presented by the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation and is curated in partnership with nationwide and Bay Area-based Japanese American communities.\n\n\nMORE INFO:\nThenTheyCame.org\n\n\nMEDIA   OPPS:\nFor media kit\, press preview invitation and additional media assets\, please contact:\nKimberly Verde\, kv@FRAMEWORKsf.com\nDanielle Smith\, danielle@FRAMEWORKsf.com\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation\nThe Jonathan Logan Family Foundation supports organizations that advance social justice by promoting world-changing work in investigative journalism\, documentary film\, and arts and culture.

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?

SUMMARY:ONLY THE OAKS REMAIN - Story of Tuna Canyon Detention Station
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: June 9\, 2018 – January 31\, 2019 from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM\n\n\n\nLocation: 640 Old Mason St\, Presidio of San Francisco\, CA 94129 \n\nOpening Reception: June 10\, 2018 from 12:00 – 2:00 pm \n\n\nAdmission free with program attendance.\nFeaturing speakers Nancy Oda\, Grace Shimizu\, and Larry DiStasi with perspectives on the WWII Department of Justice internment experience. \nThis traveling exhibit will be open from June 9\, 2018 to January 31\, 2019. \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.
