Art Miki will be speaking at this event.
“Can you imagine someone taking your home, all your possessions and your freedom?
Broken Promises explores the dispossession of Japanese Canadians that began in 1942 when the Canadian government uprooted and interned all people of Japanese descent living in coastal British Columbia. The following year, it authorized the sale of everything they had been forced to leave behind. As a result, when Canada’s internment era finally ended in 1949, Japanese Canadians had nothing to return to. Their homes, farms, businesses, fishing vessels, cars, family pets, personal belongings were gone. “
