As stated in my entry, “Reflections on the 39th Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage,” (Sunday, April 27, 2008), UCLA Nikkei Student Union President Mickie Okamoto was one of our speakers at the Pilgrimage last Saturday.
In case you missed it, you can listen to her speech by clicking on the link below (the audio is courtesy of her father; 2:42; 1.4 mb).
Welcome to the Manzanar Committee’s official blog. Here you’ll find the latest news about the work of the Manzanar Committee, which has sponsored the annual Manzanar Pilgrimage since 1969.
This blog is also the place to post your thoughts about Manzanar—past, present and future. If you have an article, commentary piece, short story, poem, etc., about Manzanar, the Manzanar Pilgrimage, the Japanese American concentration camp experience, the Redress and Reparations movement, or anything closely-related, including the issues raised by the camp experience and their relevance to what’s happening today, please send it to us and we’ll put it up here on the blog (we do reserve the right to edit or reject any submission)!
We also encourage those of you who participate in the annual Manzanar At Dusk (MAD) program to send us your thoughts, ideas, questions—anything that the discussions during the MAD program might inspire you to write. We’ll put those up here as well so we can continue the dialogue (you can comment on any blog entry by clicking on the “comments” link at the end of each entry).
We look forward to your contributions and participation!
