Inspired by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Roberta Hayashi, Karen Korematsu, and Civil Rights Attorney Dale Minami, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Johnny Cepeda Gogo obtained a WWII era, 48-star, American flag with the goal of inviting all survivors of Japanese American concentration camps during WWII to sign the flag.

We invite all survivors of Japanese American concentration camps to the museum on November 21st to sign the two flags. One flag will be donated to the Japanese American Museum of San Jose and one will be donated to the Japanese American National Museum.
