Bellevue College president David May: “This rededication is more than a rededication of a piece of art. It represents, for me, a rededication of the college to the values that we seek to live by.” It’s community conversation and dialogue seeking to create a discourse to confront the pale suppressing hand of white supremacy. Congratulations to the college, the community and the artist, Erin Shigaki.

On 19 February 1942, by order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers" hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.
George Takei's childhood as one of the more than 120,000 mass incarcerated was memorialised in the graphic novel "They Called Us Enemy".

Remembrance for the Day the Cat Jumped.
And, as taught me by Dr. Ginger Wilson at Duke University when I was 13 years old: just as it’s necessary to remember the infamy of Dec. 7, 1941, so too must we remember the infamy of Executive Order 9066, which two months later authorized the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans — #Issei and #Nisei alike — from the West Coast of the United States to internment camps further inland.
