Join Nikkei poet and educator Alison Lubar for a 90-minute Day of Remembrance workshop tracing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 from its origins to the present day. Through primary sources—from seminal U.S. documents to the current administration’s March 2025 invocation of the Act—alongside photographs from Lubar’s family’s incarceration at Tule Lake Relocation Center, participants will:

• Understand how language can be a tool for violence or liberation, division or solidarity
• Use first-person accounts and primary sources to understand how policy affects people
• Discover the power of telling our own stories and find inspiration to tell yours

Facilitator: Alison Lubar and Dr. Khyati Joshi

Free and open to all. Professional Development hours awarded.
