Uprooted: An American Story

Some survivors of the Japanese internment camps gathered at the California Museum, where they were honored.

A 48-star American Flag, which was signed by many survivors, was also donated to the museum and will be part of the exhibit entitled Uprooted: An American Story, which shares the many faces of those who went through the ordeal of incarceration.
Watch and you’ll see a couple of BCF members Lois Tanaka and Mits Yamamoto.
