Join us at the Special Collections Library on Feb. 11 @ 10:30 a.m.

OR the International Library on Feb. 25 @ 2:30

for our JACL Players performance of Confinement in the Land of Enchantment. Led by Nikki Nojima Louis, the Player portray what it was like during WWII when Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Roosevelt ordering all Japanese Americans to incarceration internment camps.
