We Hereby Refuse - Book Celebration

This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday February 20

2:00 PM  –  3:00 PM

Three voices … Three acts of defiance … One mass injustice. This new graphic novel presents an original vision of America’s past with disturbing links to the American present. Japanese Americans complied when expelled from their homes in World War II and forcibly incarcerated in American concentration camps – but when it came to their ongoing imprisonment, many among them refused to submit without a fight.

For the first time, three of their stories are tied together within an epic narrative of the entire camp experience. Hear about the creation of this groundbreaking book by authors Frank Abe and Tamiko Nimura with illustrations by Ross Ishikawa and Matt Sasaki.

Co-published by the Wing Luke Museum and Chin Music Press, this project was funded, in part, by a grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program.
