In 1942, Sam Mihara and his family were removed from their home in San Francisco and sent to the Heart Mountain Internment Camp in northern Wyoming. Sam, who was a child at the time, was born in the United States. His family's only crime was their Japanese heritage. During their three years at Heart Mountain, Sam's entire family lived in a single room measuring 20 by 20 feet.
Join us as Sam tells his family's story and shares his dedication to preventing civil rights violations like these from ever happening again.
