Comments from the Public

"Given the present tenor of the times, with Hispanics being labeled "rapists and murderers" and Muslims being referred to as "terrorists," this exhibit is most timely. It would be wonderful if it could be a traveling exhibit, especially to "red" states."

“This exhibit (Then They Came For Me) speaks volumes, and I hope this information and these stories travel far. Big shoutout to Maia for putting this on. Learned so much. ”

 

“Thank you for a beautiful exhibit and experience. Excited to bring more people here in the future.”

 

“Excellent exhibit and film.”

"Docent tour excellent!"

 

"The Exhibits were Outstanding and all Staff was Great!"

 

“The last section, that shows activism and how people carry forward ideas of justice.
I found the exhibit to be sad, sobering, yet also beautiful and hopeful. I truly appreciate the artistry of the photographers, and how the exhibit was put together.”

“Nice exhibit. Very well put together.”

 

“Great Exhibit! I was born in Tule Lake… Lots of things I can relate to. Thank you!”

 

“Extraordinary. Necessary. A powerful reminder that we must NEVER forget. Stay Vigilant.”

 

“History at its finest. A reminder of what we shouldn’t be doing, shouldn’t be racist or oppressive. Should always protect human rights and U.S. constitution. Thanks!”

"Friendly staff"

"Second visit to this profound exhibit. Everyone should see this show and think about how it still pertains to our world. I will come again with more friends before it closes."

 

“I thought the showing was wonderful. I feel our President should see this.”

 

“Amazing photographs. An important record of a painful era. May we learn from history.”

 

“Excellent-felt the breadth and depth of the injustice of the times! Reminds of now and a reminder of what we should never repeat again!”
“So happy to join to today's origami tours project for the protest of separation of families and the Muslim travel ban. Love and Solidarity - Aunty Jun”
