In the second of the two-term class “Voices of Resilience,” we will deepen our understanding of Japanese internment through a blend of literature, personal connection, and cultural exploration. We have the opportunity to engage in a live Zoom call with Jamie Ford (the author of the book) and we will visit the Wing Luke Museum, where we will explore powerful exhibits that bring history to life. Together, we’ll connect the lessons from the book to contemporary issues, fostering meaningful discussions about resilience and community in today’s world. This course is not just about learning history; it’s about understanding the human spirit and finding our own voices in the face of adversity.
*This class is open to, and required of, students who were in the first term of the class.
