A few months ago I responded to a post on Facebook about the anniversary of Executive Order 9066. That response led to a conversation with Valerie at asianamericanwriting.com asking me to write a few guest blogs for their newsletter. In my previous position as Museum Director at The History Museum of Hood River County, I was heavily involved in bringing awareness to the issue of racial prejudices again Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor and establishing a permanent exhibit in the museum displays.
Here is the link to the first blog. http://asianamericanwriting.com/japanese-american-exhibit-in-hood-river/.
I sincerely hope and pray that in some small way, my sharing will honor those that lived through this difficult time and help us not forget their story.
