Our Work
Our programs span education, media and exhibits, and advocacy to inspire others to protect civil rights and American democracy and, as Fred said, “stand up for what is right.”
EDUCATION
We develop resources for students and teachers, lead and contribute to educator workshops and curriculum development, and advocate for Ethnic Studies and Civic Education in K-12 classrooms nationwide.

“Am I An American Or Am I Not?” Exhibit
Named for the question Fred asked when faced with criminal charges for violating the military orders to leave his home without due process, this new traveling exhibit will bring the story of the WWII Japanese American Incarceration and its continued relevance to diverse cities across the country.
We are grateful for support from the National Parks Service Japanese American Confinement Sites program and Asian Americans Advancing Justice. If you are interested in collaborating with us on this project, please contact us.
