Participants joined us for an incredible opportunity to learn about Honouliuli, Hawai’i’s largest and longest operating World War II internment center from Jane Kurahara, one of the key leaders in re-discovering and preserving this important site and\u00a0Sandi Chang, granddaughter of internee Sam Nishimura. Our presenters introduced us to the history of Honouliuli, shared their personal connections to this site, and introduced us to artistic expressions of those imprisoned.<\/p>\n
