Reimagining Japanese American History | California News
Description
The Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo is reopening January 23rd after a $25 million, two-year overhaul — and it’s bigger, bolder, and more urgent than ever. Their new exhibit, In the Future We Call Now, dives deep into racism, democracy, and resilience, connecting WWII incarceration to today’s battles over immigration, Islamophobia, and reparations. Featuring AI-powered avatars of survivors, powerful stories from mothers and women, and lesser-known camp experiences like Tule Lake, the museum aims to resonate across immigrant communities. After losing federal funding under Trump, this reimagined space is a defiant, timely call to remember — and act.
