After many year s of lying forgotten in storage\, the collection was inherited by a family friend of Eaton’s\, who in April 2015 attempted to put it up for auctio n. An outcry arose from Japanese American community leaders and activists\ , who rallied successfully to stop the insensitive sale of these important artifacts of Japanese American history. Ultimately\, the collection was t ransferred to the Japanese American National Museum for safekeeping.\n\nNo w a traveling display\, both physically and digitally\, <em>Contested Hist ories</em> is intended to help gather information about each individual ob ject so that the museum’s efforts to preserve and catalog the collection can be as complete as possible.\n\n<strong>This live public program is fr ee and open to all.
