The Japanese American National Museum in L.A. continually presents forward-thinking, innovative programs and initiatives that expand the notion of what a museum should and could be.
Saturday, February 18, the museum will unveil its newest online initiative, the Remembrance Project.
In conjunction with the 70th anniversary of E.O. 9066 (the executive order that led to the internment of Japanese-American citizens during World War II) , the Remembrance Project is a new website featuring stories about those affected by the events surrounding the Japanese-American WWII experience.
Through written tributes submitted by individuals, families, and friends, this evolving three-year project will allow the museum to present these important first-person stories to new, younger, and more diverse audiences and will continue to make these stories accessible to future generations.
A special event at the museum will premiere the debut of a PSA video with actor and activist George Takei. Invited guests also include key social media influencers. For more information, call 213.625.0414.
