El musical Internment deja su huella en Broadway pero cerrará el 14 de febrero de 2016
26 de enero de 2016 • Chris Hope
Todo lo bueno debe llegar a su fin, pero este fin llega demasiado pronto. A finales de octubre, tuve el privilegio de asistir a un avance de Allegiance en el Teatro Longacre de Broadway. Estaba más que un poco aprensivo ante la idea de un musical de internamiento, pero después de presenciar el enfoque que el equipo detrás de Allegiance había adoptado con el programa, rápidamente desarrollé la firme convicción de que la producción tenía el potencial de representar la …
To Be Takei
15 de mayo de 2014 • Chris Hope
“A musical?” says Leonard Nimoy, “on that?” He bursts out laughing. “A musical about the internment?” asks U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye, wincing, “no, I would have never imagined that.” Actor, activist, and media personality George Takei has had an interesting life, but the new documentary To Be Takei so unflinchingly sheds such light on the struggles he has triumphed over that audiences can’t help but to leave inspired. We all recall his days as Sulu at the helm of the …

70th Anniversary of the Japanese American/Japanese Canadian Internment: Redress, Remember, Relate – Contrasting the Japanese American and Japanese Canadian Internment Experiences in Washington D.C. - Part 2
27 de diciembre de 2012 • Chris Hope
Read Part 1 >> In contrast to Kawakami and Minami’s discussions that focused on the fact that it was the incremental gains of specific legal victories that lead to the redress in the U.S., it was very interesting to learn from Justice Omatsu that the Canadian road to redress was, comparatively, much more collectivist and political in nature. In Canada we had no banner cases or new “bright line” precedents to turn to, but the fight for the hearts and minds …

20 de diciembre de 2012 • Chris Hope
On November 15, I travelled to Washington D.C. to appear in a panel assembled to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Japanese American and Japanese Canadian internments at the annual conference of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA). In attendance were 1,800 lawyer-delegates from across North America. The panel I presented with consisted of Dale Minami, Rod Kawakami, and Justice Maryka Omatsu. Minami and Kawakami are two of the architects of the legal challenges that led to the …
