2026 marks the nation’s 250th anniversary as well as the 50th anniversary of the termination of Executive Order 9066. As we reflect on these two milestones, what does democracy mean when it is denied, challenged, and ultimately restored?

For the Japanese Americans featured in this exhibition, the answer was to fight injustice with action. Learn about remarkable Oregonians who have embodied democratic ideals, including Elisa Dozono, Tiffany Koyama Lane, Lynn Nakamoto, Bill Naito, Minoru Yasui, and Mari Watanabe, as well as the causes and movements that have inspired and united the Japanese American community in Oregon.
