Letters from Detainees: Past & Present

  • USC Price Asian Pacific Islander Caucus (map)

The USC Price Asian Pacific Islander Caucus invites you to a discussion about the parallels between the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans and the detainment of migrants under the current Trump administration, led by Susan H. Kamei of the USC History Department. Join us in a group reading of original letters from past and current detainees, and write your own letter to current detainees which will be sent to them through the non-profit organization Detainees Allies.
