What Would Min Do?
“What is done to the least of us can be done to all of us.”

Please join us for our 2026 Minoru Yasui Day event.

The year 2026 marks two significant milestones: the 10th anniversary of Oregon’s designation in perpetuity of March 28 as Minoru Yasui Day, honoring the day Minoru Yasui courageously stood against unjust government orders and the legacy of Oregon’s only Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient; and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, rooted in the principle of no kings and the belief that power belongs to the people.

Together, we will honor these anniversaries and explore contested narratives in history, education, and politics — standing with the voices of the past and present as we recommit to preserving democracy, freedom, civil rights, civil liberties, and justice for all.

Presented by the Minoru Yasui Legacy Project in collaboration with the Japanese American Museum of Oregon, this event honors Min’s lifelong fight for equity. Special thanks to our hosting sponsor, The Oregon Historical Society.
