Join us for this talk with Grant Din, curator of Taken From Their Families: Japanese American Incarceration on Angel Island During World War II.
Taken From Their Families explores the lesser-known history of Angel Island and its role in the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. The former immigration center was used to process prisoners of war and Nikkei community leaders living on the West Coast and Hawai’i. The exhibition presents the stories of 24 individuals who passed through its gates. The exhibition is will be on view at the Japanese American Museum of Oregon from January 18 through April 6, 2025.
