In tribute to beloved scholar and oral historian Art Hansen, several of his favorite oral histories will be re-enacted with notable actors playing roles of such iconic figures as draft resister Jim Akutsu, war hero Ben Kuroki, celebrated dancer Yuriko Kikuchi, deaf activist Hannah Holmes, and controversial camp denier Lillian Baker. Poet traci kato-kiriyama, author Naomi Hirahara, filmmaker Sharon Yamato, and historian Brian Niiya are curating this program that is a lively combination of history, personality and drama. 

This program is cosponsored by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and the Aratani C.A.R.E Award.
