The exhibit also features historic artifacts, contemporary artworks, and illustrated panels about housing and redlining; the robust Japanese American business, religious, education, and sports communities; and activism. Personal memories of growing up in Berkeley and family photos are included. Research for the project included multiple oral history interviews.
The exhibit has been developed primarily by local Japanese Americans Arlene Makita Acuña, Gary Tominaga, Nancy Ukai, and David Ushijima, along with Kathryn Lucchese and BHSM volunteers Jeanine Castello-Lin (chair), Aimee Baldwin, Elina Juvonen, George Petty, Michael Several, and Chuck Wollenberg.
Open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 1 to 4 pm. Admission is free (donations appreciated).
