Join us for an evening of commemoration as we recognize the 83rd anniversary of the wartime forced eviction of people of Japanese ancestry from South Puget Sound on May 17-18, 1942.
Take a walking tour through downtown Tacoma, the site of the city’s lost Japantown. The tour will make stops exploring significant sites in Japanese American history before reconvening at the Washington State History Museum for a taiko drum performance. The performance will be followed by a brief procession to Union Station to remember the site where the Japanese American community was forced to report before being sent to prison camps throughout the West.
Free with registration.
