Join us for a special film screening and discussion in honor of United Against Hate Week.
Please note! This film is presented in person at the Albany Senior Center. Admission is free.
About the film:
Seventy-eight years ago, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans.
Featuring George Takei and many others who were incarcerated, as well as newly rediscovered photographs of Dorothea Lange, AND THEN THEY CAME FOR US brings history into the present, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban.
Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it.
Stay after the film for a Q&A + discussion with director Abby Ginzberg and Satsuki Ina (featured in the film!)
In partnership with the Alameda County Library and the City of Albany, and made possible with generous support from the Friends of the Albany Library.
