From Citizen to Enemy ?

Post by singhbj »

From Citizen to Enemy ?

Looking back at Japanese American incarceration to understand modern-day Islamophobia
This collaborative program is presented by the Cincinnati chapters of Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Special thanks to UC College of Law and the UC Diversity & Inclusion Office for their support.

The purpose of this event is to educate people in Cincinnati about the historical context and dangers of fear-mongering and discrimination, by sharing stories of internment and discrimination that the Japanese American community faced around WWII. A moderated discussion among a diverse panel of speakers will connect those stories to similar instances throughout U.S. history, ultimately drawing parallels with current-day Islamophobia and its impact on Muslim American and Sikh American communities.

In addition to the moderated panel, the program will feature video clips highlighting the experiences of incarcerated Japanese Americans, time for audience Q&A, and small group discussions. After the program concludes at 4pm, there will be a free catered reception for all attendees.
