Description:

Please join the Library as we host the People Recorder's podcast, an exploration of the WPA's Federal Writers Project. This virtual conversation will focus on the experiences of L.A. artist Miné Okubo and her family in the Japanese American community during World War II, when they were forcibly incarcerated in internment camps, how they survived, and how Okubo used her art to bear witness in her visual memoir Citizen 13660, which paved the way for a presidential apology and reparations for the injustice.

Streaming live on the Library's YouTube channel.

The People’s Recorder is funded in part by the California Documentary Project.
