February 19, 2017 marks the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which led to the incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. To mark this anniversary, Densho executive director Tom Ikeda and Arsalan Bukhari, executive director of the Washington chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, will discuss the correlation between the Japanese American past and the treatment of law-abiding American Muslim children and families today. The presenters will also talk about what people can do to prevent harassment and discrimination of American Muslims in their community.

Presented by Densho in partnership with CAIR-Washington State, ACLU of Washington, Seattle Public Library, and Seattle Center. Additional information can be found on the Seattle Public Library event page.
