Speaker Series - Dennis Kato Beyond Barbed Wire

Imagine that the laws and executive orders affecting Japanese Americans during World War II found their way into current events. From the perspective of a third-generation Japanese American (Sansei) whose family had 17 members incarcerated in three different camps, participants will learn how anti-Japanese prejudice led to the imprisonment of more than 120,000 people—two-thirds of them US citizens—for nearly four years. From the courage of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to the Coram Nobis cases, we will examine life in the camps and explore what these sites are like today.
