Bringing history alive with evocative visuals, color, and symbolism, Tony Moy created his webtoon, โ€œ4Forty2nd - The Lost Battalionโ€™ to highlight the legacy of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team during World War II. This month, the Northwest Nikkei Museum will discuss the creative process with Moy as part of our monthly Speaker Series.

Moy was introduced to the Nisei Veteranโ€™s Committee (NVC), which shared their deep knowledge and understanding of the 442ndโ€™s historyย โ€” a regiment that served their country valiantly, while their families were forcibly incarcerated by Executive Order 9066. A representative of the NVC will also be joining us at this monthโ€™s Speaker Series, so please look forward to hearing more about the groupโ€™s history as well!
