Tony, I thought you might be interested in this:
Detained in America: Children Speak
It will be at the Japanese American National Museum in LA.
It's not listed on the museum website, yet, but this is a piece of the description I saw:
On September 21st, the voices of children who have suffered from these policies will be heard, as Japanese American children read the words of those confined decades ago, while Los Angeles children amplify the voices of some of the thousands of their age mates currently suffering in deplorable detention facilities, snatched from the safety of loving adults, traumatized by cruel treatment.
Join us at 1:30 PM in the courtyard of the Japanese American National Museum for an afternoon of child empowerment, as the experience of suffering children is given voice and amplification by our own children. Attend the premier screening of an original film by 7th grade students depicting the journey of a child asylum-seeker to the United States. Join us for the call to action by those daily fighting on behalf of these children and for the sake of America’s humanity.
Co-hosted by the Japanese American National Museum, Immigrant Families Together, CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles), CLUE (Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice), and Bend the Arc
A dance team at a local high school here in Anaheim did a dance in remembrance of the Japanese American internment, and they put a video of their dance on Facebook, it was pretty cool.
And we have an exhibit at the Muzeo here in Anaheim dedicated to remembering the internment of the Japanese Americans.
http://muzeo.org/I will go see the Muzeo exhibit for sure.
It is horrible what happened to the Japanese Americans. We must learn our lesson, so that it is not repeated.
We also must stop the current bashing of the Latinos by Trump, they come here because they believe in what American stands for, and America is for everyone. We also need to stop the practice of separating families and locking children in cages, we must not allow that. We can bus our immigrants from our Southern Border to Detroit, and Council Woman Raquel Lopez said that she wants the immigrants to come to Detroit, and she will help them. Also, the unions know where the jobs are, and there are jobs working in the vineyards in California, and rebuilding in areas damaged by fires, etc. We need to fix our broken immigration policy so that we can legally welcome our immigrants, and we need to invite them in and then help them to go to work, they come here for honest work. We need to treat our immigrants like human beings, and they have human rights, they are equal with us, all men are created equal, and I support the words on our Statue of Liberty. We need for our Statue of Liberty to represent what we stand for, not a wall.
Salute,
Tony V.
