Day of Remembrance

Please join the Edison Uno Initiative for Nikkei and Uchinaanchu Studies and the Department of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University as we gather to commemorate Day of Remembrance on Thursday, February 19^th from 5:30 – 7 p.m. 

Day of Remembrance commemorates the unlawful incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and invites reflection on contemporary experiences of racialized violence and xenophobia. This year's program will feature an exhibition of the Wakasa Spirit Stone, a screening of the short film DUST by Glenn Mitsui and Brandon Shimoda, and a ceremony honoring the 19 SFSU students incarcerated during WWII. The film screening will begin at 5:30PM in Burk Hall, Room 28 with a ceremony to follow in the Ruth Asawa Garden of Remembrance. 

This event is open to students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members.

SFSU welcomes persons with disabilities and will provide reasonable accommodations upon request. If you would like reasonable accommodations for this event, please contact the Department of Asian American Studies at aas@sfsu.edu in advance of the event for review.
