Remembering Japanese American Incarceration with– Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement

In recognition of the 84th anniversary of Japanese American incarceration during World War II, Nevada Humanities and the Reno chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League are holding a special screening of Tadashi Nakamura’s film Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement. The documentary chronicles the life of Los Angeles-born artist, dancer, singer, author, and activist Nobuko Miyamoto, who was sent to the Santa Anita temporary detention center when she was only two years old. 

Following the screening, join us for tea and conversation in the atrium.
