Join us for a panel discussion with some of the people featured in Standing for Justice: The Japanese Americans Shaping Oregon exhibition, including Peggy Nagae, Mari Watanabe, Elisa Dozono, and Tiffany Koyama Lane. Learn about their lives and what inspired them to pursue careers focused around civic engagement and protection of civil rights. Hear directly from these local Japanese American politicians, lawyers, and judges on how we can all work towards justice here in Oregon. This is an exhibition program for Standing for Justice, on view at the Japanese American Museum of Oregon starting June 27.
