Join us for the dedication of the Sam Mihara Theater! Former Heart Mountain incarceree Sam Mihara has spent the last 10 years traveling around the country, speaking to groups-- of all ages and sizes-- about his boyhood years spent as a prisoner of his own government. Sam has donated all the proceeds from his programs to the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation.

Today, we recognize Sam's extraordinary commitment by naming the theater at Heart Mountain Interpretive Center in his honor. After an introduction by Shirley Ann Higuchi, Sam will reflect on his decade of work raising awareness about the Japanese American incarceration.

Antioch, Calif., once had a dynamic Chinatown until white residents burned it to the ground during the anti-immigration hysteria of 1920. Now its new mayor is making amends. @ChineseCultural @ChinatownLAPL @OCANational @AntiochCAgov
