A Divided Community—A Staged Reading

Conceived by Frank Chin, this dramatic reading—based on Chin's book Born in the USA and by Greg Robinson's By Order of the President—focuses on the issues surrounding the U.S. government persecution of Japanese America based on challenges to civil liberties and the resistance to the draft by Americans behind barbed wire.

Read by actual resisters, the presentation sheds light on gaps that have divided the Japanese American Community since World War II.

Born in the USA and By Order of the President are available for sale at the Museum Store. Order toll-free 1.888.769.5559 or at www.janmstore.com.
