If you have a photo, please send it to the email in the image. The link in our bio provides more information on the exhibit and how to submit it.

“I AM AN AMERICAN: The Nisei Soldier Experience” is a traveling exhibit that will educate the public about the extraordinary heroism of Japanese American World War II Nisei Soldiers.

We support the @allsoulsmovement and their call for President Biden to sign an executive order establishing a commission to study reparations for African Americans before leaving office. This action will also honor the legacy of the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who passionately advocated for HR 40 and its pursuit of justice and equality.
