Tule Lake Survivors and Descendants Speak Out
Due to Tule Lake’s designation as a “segregation center” for “disloyals,” its history has been especially repressed and misunderstood. Now, Tule Lake survivors and descendants are working to unearth family stories, resurrecting this site’s history—and gaining a deeper understanding of what it meant to say “no.” Akemi Johnson will facilitate a conversation with Tamiko Nimura, Kyoko Oda, and Diana Emiko Tsuchida, including a chance for the audience to ask questions.
