This unique professional development opportunity will explore the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II through local and national stories. The training will focus on national civil rights hero Fred T. Korematsu, the “assembly centers” of California, and the personal accounts of those affected by the incarceration experience.
The workshop will also include a tour of JANM and a packet of lesson plans and classroom resources for elementary, middle, and high school students.
