DESCRIPTION:Yukiko Flennaugh shares her father�s experience during WWII.
   \nThis is an in-person program.\nWhat would you do if you had less than 
 a week to pack one bag and leave your home\, not knowing if you would ever
  return? John Nakada was an 11-year-old boy when the US entered WWII - he 
 was torn away from his life even though he was a US citizen. John&#39\;s d
 aughter\, Yukiko Flennaugh (maiden name Laura Nakada)\, will share what Ja
 panese Americans experienced and show short videos of her father telling s
 tories. He discusses friends refusing to talk to him\, living in a fairgro
 und horse stable\, the train ride to Heart Mountain\, Wyoming\, sneaking o
 ut of camp into a watermelon patch\, and what life was like after camp.\nA
  brief history of Japanese Americans during WWII: All people of Japanese d
 escent living on the West Coast were incarcerated in internment camps just
  months after America entered WWII. Over two thirds of the 120\,000 Japane
 se American men\, women and children were US citizens who were imprisoned\
 , even though no crimes had been committed. The United States government h
 as since apologized\, and �The Civil Liberties Act� was signed in 1988
 \, a bill to acknowledge the fundamental injustice of the evacuation\, rel
 ocation and internment of United States citizens.\nYukiko is honored to be
  sharing her father&#39\;s story.  John Nakada is 92\, living in a memory 
 care facility in Portland. He is unable to give his talk about camp any lo
 nger\, but he was downhill skiing\, playing tennis\, and bowling until he 
 was 88. In the 70�s and 80�s\, John and Sue Nakada raised their four k
 ids\, Chet\, Laura-Yukiko\, Mitch\, and Nori\, in Bend\, right next to Mt.
  Bachelor so John could ski every weekend. Yukiko lives in Portland\, is a
  girl&#39\;s high school basketball coach\, volunteers at the Japanese Ame
 rican Museum of Oregon as a docent and leads the Racial Justice Ministry a
 t Sunset Church. She is married to Damon and has adult children\, Nicole a
 nd Trejan Flennaugh. \n*cr*\n*br*.\nhttps://dpl.libnet.info/event/11608303
