Day of Remembrance
Mukai Farm & Garden
Sunday, February 23rd
2pm-4pm
On February 23 from 2:00 to 4:00, Friends of Mukai show the film made by Frank Abe called “Conscience and the Constitution,” which documents the story of 63 Japanese Americans who chose to refuse the draft while at the Heart Mountain concentration camp. It is a story of resistance that can help inform our thinking about how to protect human rights today, as arguments swirl about to deal with America’s immigration “problem.”
There are many who are concerned about profound humanitarian, legal, economic, and social impacts, even if only some of the current proposals to deport immigrants and curtail future immigration come to fruition.
For Japanese Americans and many others, the answer to unconstitutional incarceration and deportation is, “Never again.” The film will be shown at Mukai Farm & Garden at 18017 107th SW, followed by a brief discussion. Please join us!
