2022 January Paul Kitagaki Jr: Japanese-American Incarceration Reflections Then and Now

Paul Kitagaki Jr. presents his project “Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit”. Paul’s photographs document and illuminate a dark episode in our country's history, the relocation and incarceration of more than 120,000 ethnic Japanese Americans during WWII. Through slow and painstaking research, Kitagaki has spent 16 years locating and winning the trust of the families who lived through the internment camps, documenting their stories of survival and inner strength to overcome injustice, racism, and wartime hysteria.

Gets me every time I see Paul's presentation. And I always learn something new. Kudos, Paul.

Incredible body of work, and amazing documentation of such important stories. I also appreciated seeing his other work - the images from the Olympics are so fantastic.
