At Tule Lake, more than 12,000 Nikkei were segregated and punished for peacefully protesting the unjust forced removal and incarceration. In recent years, the dissidents segregated at Tule Lake are finally being recognized as the long-missing story of Japanese American civil rights resistance during incarceration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most of the past 75 years, the stories of Tule Lake\u2019s activists were erased, the survivors shamed and silenced. The JACL considered civil rights protesters as \u201ctroublemakers\u201d and \u201cpro-Japan fanatics,\u201d dismissing the moral and political courage at the core of resisting government abuses of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new generation of Nikkei activists sees the connection between the unjust incarceration and the need to use our community\u2019s moral authority to challenge similar injustices. Inspired by the courageous protesters at Tule Lake, a nationwide movement has grown to oppose the detention of children and families, and to advocate for redress and reparations to Black Americans for the harm of slavery, America\u2019s original sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10:45 AM&nbsp;<\/strong>(Pacific) &#8211; Join early, meet and greet with friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11:00 AM&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; Welcome<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Tribute to Hiroshi Kashiwagi: Remembering Tule Lake\u2019s beloved poet laureate, Nisei actor, poet, writer and playwright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Tule Lake, The Big Lie by Emiko Omori: The government\u2019s attempt to justify, rectify and perpetuate the lie of \u201cMilitary Necessity.\u201d Excerpts from Omori\u2019s 1999 film, Rabbit in the Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Tule Lake 101: Righteous Protest at Tule Lake and the Demonization of Japanese American Civil Rights Advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12:30 PM &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong>Lunch Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2 to 4 PM &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cHealing Circles\u201d facilitated by Tsuru for Solidarity.
