Critical Conversations: Voices of the Japanese American Experience on Race

As the #BlackLivesMatter movement became global, even making its way to Japan, we see the strong need and beautiful opportunity to have these important discussions now. Through the Critical Conversation Series, we aim to bring together youth in Japan and the United States to create peer-to-peer learning opportunities by bringing thoughtful and inspirational speakers, creating a safe space to share experiences and perspectives, and to continue to be able to educate ourselves and have these important discussions. This is a three-part series starting in July 2020. We have not confirmed the date for Part 3 yet, but we will post the information as the details are firmed up. Join the conversation to share, listen, and learn together.
