We will gather for a docent led tour of this newly rebuilt and reopened exhibit focusing on the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. The exhibit explores how they responded to their forced removal and incarceration, ranging from quiet endurance to heroic valor to conscientious resistance. The exhibit also highlights Japanese Americans’ ongoing efforts to ensure no other groups experience similar civil rights violations.
Interactive displays and unique artifacts donated by incarceration survivors supplement visitor favorites from the previous installation including a video introduction by George Takei and a replica barracks and guard tower. Features added in 2023 include a theater experience and an interactive display that allows visitors to hold virtual conversations with three survivors by using AI to match visitor questions with answers drawn from a bank of responses recorded in their own words.
