California Legacy Voice Network: 2016 JAMsj Workshops

Class/Workshop
In Person
Japanese American Museum of San Jose
535 N. Fifth Street San Jose, California, United States of America

Date: March 12, 2016

Time: 9 a.m.


The California Legacy Voice Network has scheduled a professional development workshop for teachers and administrators in Region 5 (Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Counties) at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) in San Jose's Japantown.

The workshop will be held Saturday, March 12 , 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., including lunch and a museum tour. JAMsj is one of eight regions in California collaborating to promote awareness of the WWII concentration camps. 

Guest speakers Karen Korematsu and others will address four critical areas:

  • California's assembly centers
  • The Japanese American internment
  • Fred Korematsu's story
  • The family stories of local Legacy Voices

Participants will receive materials to share with students and colleagues at their schools and school districts, thus preparing them to become Legacy Voices. This Japanese American Confinement Sites grant is sponsored by the National Park Service, the Korematsu Institute for Civil Rights and Education, and JAMsj.

Pre-registration for the March 12 workshop is due March 4, 2016.
