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.

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.
