New Americans Museum presents with JACL Film & Talk: Una Storia Segreta
In partnership with the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL)
Join us on May 6th from 1 to 4 pm for a special event in partnership with the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) as we present "Una Storia Segreta: The Untold Story of Italian American Internment During World War II."
In this event, we will delve into the often-overlooked history of Italian Americans who were unjustly interned during World War II. Through a panel discussion, we will explore the impact of these experiences on Italian American families and communities and examine the broader historical context that led to this dark chapter in American history.
We are also pleased to have Christen T. Sasaki, PH.D. share her reflective comments on the topic, bringing her expertise and insights to the conversation.
In addition to the film and discussion, we will have an exhibit showcasing artifacts and photos from this period, giving attendees a deeper understanding of this often-overlooked piece of history.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about a significant piece of American history and engage in a meaningful discussion with experts in the field.
