Sam Mihara: Memories of Injustice

Salem Armory Visitor Center 2 New Libery Street, Salem, United States

When Sam Mihara was nine years old, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Soon after, Sam and his family were forced from their San Francisco home and moved to a desolate prison camp in Wyoming. They were among 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast unjustly imprisoned by the US government due to widespread fear, racial prejudice, and a failure of political leadership. Today, Sam tours the country telling the story of what he experienced during three years of incarceration, and reflecting on the lessons from this dark chapter in American history.
