If They Came For Me Today: The Japanese American Internment Project

The Japanese internment is a topic with deep local roots, and those roots have been planted in fresh soil resulting in a new exhibit opening next week at the SF main library: If They Came For Me Today: The Japanese American Internment Project:

The large-scale Japanese American Internment Project traveling exhibition honors 14 survivors of the Japanese American internment camps during WWII and Japanese American artists whose work has been influenced by the internment experience. The project is based on a series of interviews and creative writing workshops with 11th graders at George Washington High School in San Francisco and has been expanded to include the creative talent of students from CW/W's ROOTS program at Balboa High School and Horrace Mann Middle School in San Francisco.

Sounds like a great field trip. Hat tip to LeftInSF for noting this exhibit.
