Memories of childhood are embedded in toys and objects from our past, but what stories lie within the items of children who were detained or displaced?  Nancy Ukai, Project Director of 50 Objects, a digital project that explores the wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans through artifacts and stories, will talk about a doll, a toy tank, and a pair of Mickey Mouse geta (sandals). Two of the toys are displayed in Then They Came For Me exhibition. In addition, she will show film clips of a recent Japanese American pilgrimage to south Texas which took 25,000 paper cranes to the fence of a detention facility to protest the separation of families and the confinement of women and children.
