From April 1 through May 31, all participating libraries will read and discuss They Called Us Enemy by George Takei.
They Called Us Enemy is a graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei’s childhood imprisoned within American concentration camps during World War II. Confronting questions of patriotism, family, loyalty, and community, George’s work is a stunning examination of what it means to be American, both then and now.
