Calendar of Programs and Events

Based upon actual events, A Divided Community was conceived by Frank Chin. During World War II, a group of Japanese Americans protested their unconstitutional incarceration by refusing to report to the draft board if called upon until their rights and those of their families as United States citizens were restored. Colloquially known as "the resisters," the actions of these men continue to generate debate in the community. Read by actual World War II resisters and veterans as well as actors, this piece brings to life an important moment in history that still resonates today. Performance is free; Museum admission not included.

Students of all ages from throughout Southern California are invited to attend a Town Hall on Student Issues facilitated by KPFK Radio 90.7.

This public event will provide students with a forum to express their ideas and concerns on the issues that affect their lives today. KPFK will broadcast live from the National Center's Democracy Forum. All are welcome to attend.

This event is sponsored by KPFK Radio at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy.
