Internment of Japanese-Americans: A Father’s Voice and a Boy’s Remembrances
Thursday, November 21, 2013
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Sakura is a third generation Japanese-American (Sansei) whose grandfather was a leader in Seattle’s Japanese community during the early 1900s.  Prior to World War II, David’s family and relatives, along with forty other Japanese families, lived in Eatonville, WA, a small logging community located in the foothills of Mt Rainier.

After the outbreak of World War II, David’s family was involuntarily detained at Camp Harmony, a temporary detention camp.   The family was subsequently transported to Minidoka, a permanent internment camp in Idaho.  During the internment, David’s father and three uncles enlisted into the US Army and served with the all Japanese-American 442 Regimental Combat Team.

Toward the end of World War II, David’s mother and her three boys were released from Minidoka and moved to Wisconsin under the sponsorship of the American Baptist Home Mission Society.

By using excerpts from his father’s letters from the camps, photos from the University of California archives and his own remembrances, David offers a highly personal account of his family’s internment experiences.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Students for Asian Cultural Awareness are sponsoring this event. 

Mr. Sakura will be speaking during periods 1 and 3 in the library to history and art students.

Attention Students!

The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office and Middlesex Partnerships for Youth, Inc. invite high school and middle school students to create their own poster promoting the importance of being involved in the school and community.

The goal of the 2013-2014 Poster Project is for students to develop original Posters, to highlight the community aspect of school and the various opportunities available to students. These messages will communicate a direct, positive voice to other teens, in an effort to demonstrate to students that they are valued and that their involvement matters.

Possible topics for the posters include:

·      Ways for students to get involved in their school and community

·      Healthy relationships that can form within the community

·      How involvement in the school and community builds opportunities

·      Positive impacts students can have on the school and community


Deadline for submissions is January 3, 2014
