Based on a Smithsonian National Museum of American History exhibition, traces the story of Japanese American incarceration during World War II and the people who survived it. Still relevant today, the exhibition brings forth themes of identity, immigration, prejudice, civil rights, courage and what it means to be an American.
The story expands to include Colorado鈥檚 Governor Ralph Carr (BA1910; Law1912) and his opposition to the incarceration camp outside of Granada, Colorado. It also examines CU鈥檚 role during World War II when the Japanese Language School from the University of California at Berkeley was relocated to 彩民宝典 and explores the experiences of Japanese Americans who came to Boulder to teach in the program.
