Living Voices Presents: Within the Silence
Saturday, April 12, 2025
3:00 pm in the E.A. Johnston Auditorium
Free and open to the public
What is the meaning of loyalty?
Understand the impact of Executive Order 9066, which imprisoned thousands of innocent Japanese Americans during World War II, through the experiences of one young incarcerated citizen.
In 1941, Emiko is an ordinary American teenager whose life is changed forever when racism and xenophobia explode against her community after Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, forcing her and every member of her family to find a way to prove their loyalty to a country that sees them as "the face of the enemy."
This Program was developed in partnership with the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian American Experience and is designed for audiences of 4th grade through adult. It is presented by Living Voices and is performed by Rachel Rene. Living Voices brings life to history!
