SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: "Defiant to the Last" Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Lunch and Learn film screening and filmmaker discussion of Defiant to the Last: Resistance at Tule Lake\, which tells the story of the Tule Lake Segregation Center where dissident Japanese Americans were demonized and punished for speaking out against the false wartime incarceration. \nIn 1943\, Tule Lake was converted into the only maximum-security Segregation Center where the Army deployed a 1\,000 person battalion to oversee the imprisoned men\, women\, and young children. Tanks rolled in\, six guard towers were increased to 28\, and an eight-foot high double “man-proof” fence was constructed to prevent escape from this remote concentration camp located in the isolated northeastern corner of California. Tule Lake became a repressive\, high-security prison filled with the dissatisfied. \nFor over 80 years\, the iconic Tule Lake jail was a structure that remained a mystery. Why did the government build a jail inside the concentration camp? Piecing together government photos and reports\, a chilling story of human and civil rights violations at the Tule Lake Segregation Center was revealed. Inmates were threatened and coerced into giving up birthright US citizenship\, separated from their families\, and removed to Department of Justice camps in Bismarck\, ND and Santa Fe\, NM. Thousands were deported for daring to protest and resist the unjust WWII incarceration. \nToday\, history is repeating. Once again\, the government is using repressive tactics to round up aliens and US citizens\, disregarding their constitutional rights and due process\, and imprisoning them with the goal of deporting them. Defiant to the Last honors those who challenged injustice and reminds us how fragile civil liberties can be\, in any era.
