Podcasts about japanese american internment camps

What would you preach to your congregation the week before your members were shipped off to an internment camp simply because they were of Japanese heritage? Pastor Tom Sugimura wrote about these pastors and their messages in an article in Christianity Today called “How Japanese American Pastors Prepared their Flocks for Internment. Tom Sugimura is also a SOLA Editorial Board member, so we invited him to talk to us about the research he did for his article and to give us more insight into the Japanese people who lived through the camps, including his own family. SOLA Editorial Curator Aaron Lee interviewed him, and we invite you to listen to their conversation here.

Most people are at least vaguely familiar with the inhuman treatment that happened inside concentration camps during World War 2. The thing most people have never heard, is that Germany was not the only country that engaged in collecting and imprisoning specific ethnic groups. In fact, the one we are talking about today was claiming to be the most freedom forward place on Earth while also building these camps in bleached desert wastelands where the weather alone could kill... The United States of America. My guest today is John Suzuki. John is the author of the Amazon best selling book "American Grit". It details stories from a shameful time in American history, and the incredible people that rose to greatness in spite of it. John does a great job breaking down the details and easily secured a place as one of my favorite guests, with a fascinating topic that for obvious reasons has been largely buried. This covers everything from the aftershock of Pearl Harbor, to Executive Order 9066, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, war heroes like Shiro Kashino, and what life was like for those who were imprisoned after the fighting was all over. ( Www.JohnSuzuki.Com ) For those that listened last episode, you'll know I'm padding out the new studio space and still had a little echo when I did this interview.  But it should be all better in the future, and honestly isn't that noticeable even to me on this one. Let's learn America's dirty secret. And thank you for listening. I really think it's time we start talking about these stains on our collective pasts. Only by being fully aware of who we are and what we've done, will we be able to build a brighter future with a fuller picture. Make sure you're doing your part to at least make others aware and give them the chance to learn through interviews like this one. August has continued moving forward despite my pleas for it to stop, so we've got updated rankings: 1. The United States, now led by New Jersey, Michigan and Oregon. 2. Ontario, Canada. Which is how I'll be refering to it until we get some competition again. 3. The United Kingdom, with England passing Scotland for the top spot. 4. Australia, led back to the top 5 by New South Wales. 5. Columbia! Welcome to the top 5 for the first time Columbia! That's it for this week! Have a great weekend and I'll see you all back here for the next episode!

Sometimes the historical moments I share on this podcast are great moments in history, sometimes they're shocking moments, and sometimes they're sad. Today's episode falls under that last category. On February 20, 1942, thousands of people with Japanese ancestry, including U.S. citizens, were rounded up and sent to Japanese internment camps. They were treated like criminals and forced to live in poor conditions. It was a terrible time in history for sure. What else was being reported on such a sad day? ___________ SOURCES “Advertisement: Silver State Baking Company.” The Reno Gazette-Journal (Reno, Nevada), February 20, 1942. www.newspapers.com.

Things that Matter with People Who Matter, As disturbing reports of violence against Asian-Americans rise, we are fortunate to be able to talk to Sally Sudo. Sally is the aunt of a member of our staff, Ann Hill. Sally and her family experienced the Japanese-American Internment camps during World War II. Now 85, Sally talks about discrimination then and now and the effort it will take to overcome it. UNITY Lutheran Church Brookfield, WI March 30th, 2021

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Since the beginning of the pandemic I’d been hearing about more and more cases of Asian hate attacks that seemed to be related to blaming the Chinese for spreading COVID.  It’s been a year so you could say that I’m kind of late to the game in addressing it here.   Perhaps it’s because there wasn’t a single galvanizing event like the murder of George Floyd that mobilized the Black Lives Matter movement.   So why now? It wasn’t because of the Atlanta spa shootings that left 8 dead, 6 of whom were Asian women. It was due to a text conversation between friends.   In early March, my friend Ariane reached out to me on a group text conversation expressing how troubled she was about all the attacks on Asians and wondering what she could do stop it.   Last summer I’d found myself asking similar questions after the murder of George Floyd which is why I specifically sought guests who could talk about Black Lives Matter and what had led up to this latest iteration of the movement and the deeply rooted historical background. I realized that we all need to speak up when we see things like this happening and to let others know that it will not be tolerated. We need to create more awareness with whatever resources and platforms we have.   Now it’s time for me to walk the talk on the issue of Anti-Asian hate attacks by addressing it here on Talking Taiwan.   I don’t think what’s been happening is strictly a COVID-related issue that is going to go away. Actually, anti-Asian sentiments have been around and have surfaced and resurfaced in many different forms in the past. This will be the first of a few episodes about Asian hate.   For this episode I’ve invited Suelain Moy and her son Otter on to the podcast to talk about how they recently dealt with being the target of Asian hate.   About Suelain Moy   Suelain Moy is a New York City mother, writer, journalist, author, and editor. Her writing has appeared in many outlets, including Parenting, American Baby, Entertainment Weekly, aMagazine, Good Housekeeping, The Fiscal Times, and the New York Daily News. She is the author of Names to Grow On: Choosing A Name Your Baby Will Love. She graduated from Yale, where she earned a BA in English and studied with bell hooks. Suelain was the first Asian face in the Children's Division of Ford Models. She comes from a long line of merchants, small business owners, teachers, and law enforcement officers in the Chinatown community, where her family has lived for generations since 1922. She wrote "The 16 Safety Guidelines for the Parents of Asian Children" in 2021, during a wave of anti-Asian violence and hate crimes in the U.S. They are based on her experiences with racism and misogyny on the streets of New York. You can read her personal essays, including the safety guidelines, at suelain.com.   About Otter Lee   Otter Lee is a queer actor, comedian, writer, and voiceover artist born and raised in New York City. He currently plays Otter Lin on Stephen Colbert Presents: Tooning Out the News, a political cartoon on Paramount+ that airs as part of The Late Show. His standup, sketch, and improv have appeared at such venues as Buzzfeed, UCB, Face-Off Unlimited, Caveat, Union Hall, The Magnet, and The Asian American Writer’s Workshop. Otter co-produced, hosted, and took the stage for NYC’s First Asian Comedy Festival at the PIT in January 2020, selling out multiple blocks and empowering numerous comedians and groups. He followed this with Crazy Talented Asians and Friends, a virtual showcase at Flushing Town Hall. A graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a degree in acting, playwriting, and history, Otter also trained extensively in the disciplines of classical and musical theatre, improv, and voice acting.  Otter’s performances and projects have been written up and featured in The New York Times, Time Out New York, AsianCrush, and World Journal.   Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Suelain and Otter’s account of an Asian hate crime incident that happened to them while in New York City’s SoHo district in February of this year How and why Suelain and Otter reacted to their harasser the way that they did How Suelain and Otter’s past experiences with hate crimes has prepared them to react The bystanders who stopped check on Suelain and Otter and offered to help How the incident was the second Asian hate speech incident in a week that happened to Otter The strategies that Suelain’s father suggested to protect her when she had to ride the New York City subway alone after commuting to school in Manhattan from Long Island How Suelain learned to protect herself on the New York City subway What Suelain wants to share with parents and others about how they can handle incidents Asian hate speech or crimes What defines something as a hate crime What defines something as Asian hate speech vs. an Asian hate crime How a lot of incidents seem to happen when people are standing on the corner How parents need to talk to their kids about a safety plan What bystanders can to if they witness someone being attacked How Asian hate speech and crimes are sometimes not taken seriously due to the model minority myth How Suelain once turned the tables on a man who sexually harassed her How summoning your middle-aged indignation or “Mommy shaming” can be strategies to deal with harassers What reactions and press Suelain and Otter have gotten since sharing what happened to them on social media The segment on Stephen Colbert Presents “Tooning Out The News” in which Otter talks about the incident that happened to him and his mother The media coverage that Suelain and Otter have gotten How Asian hate incidents transcend race, social class How Suelain’s list of safety guidelines has grown from 12 to 16 items, and has been translated into Chinese and distributed in schools How the New York City website for Asian hate crimes does not clearly indicate where you can report a crime The under reporting of Asian hate crimes How Asians are easy targets because they are visible minorities How the majority of Chinatown’s residents have been wearing masks since the beginning of the pandemic but they are being blamed for the spread of COVID     Related Links:   Suelain Moy’s blog: https://suelain.com/   Suelain’s safety

This one was a little heavy, but good information for kids to know, we cannot change the future if we don't now our past!! 

Doomfist main, Slytherin, and the actor behind Walt Yoshida AMC's The Terror, Lee Shorten sits down to talk about his experience on the show and more. The Terror: Infamy, the second season of AMC's horror anthology, centers on a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese American community, and a young man's journey to understand and combat the malevolent entity responsible. In addition, the series is one of the first depicting the internment of Japanese Americans on such a massive scale – complete with authentically recreated camps in scope and scale as post-WWII. As Walt, Shorten plays Chester’s oldest childhood friend and a Japanese American struggling to protect his family and friends amid the horrors of WWII and the Japanese American Internment Camps. When it comes to his character, Walt represents a personality between Chester and Ken who are polar opposites. Shorten came into The Terror's cast after working on Man in The High Castle, as well, another Yoshida, and was looking to work on another project with the same producer. A big fan of horror, take a listen to hear about why he loves the genre and how The Terror: Infamy uses both the monstrosities of the United States and a Japanese ghost story to tell a relevant story while also shedding a light on an often-ignored part of our history. While there were technical difficulties with the beginning of the interview, the audio picks up as Shorten describes what it's like to play Walt and how he got into character to film one of the most devastating scenes of the season so far in episode two.

“Domination is built by binaries.” My guest today explains why the race conversation in America is often flattened to the black and white binary and erases other race and mixed race folks. Sharon Chang is an author and race activist and we have an interesting and informative conversation about her mixed race family and how parents of all children can make the world more kind and inclusive for mixed race children.   One of the most critical things is becoming aware of stereotypes that are levied against mixed race children, and she gives us examples of how it presents in car commercials, DNA testing commercials, and in popular animation film Big Hero Six.   We talk about the importance of listening and not projecting mono race expectations on mixed race children, and centering the stories and histories of mixed race people. For example, did you know more than 700 people were interned during the Japanese American Internment Camps during WWII?   Sharon is whip smart, friendly and relatable, and it is important that we hear her story.   Links (affiliates, clicking and purchasing supports Parenting Forward at no extra cost to you): Get a free family devotional and coloring pages + a 20% discount code for Illustrated Children’s Ministry: https://www.illustratedchildrensministry.com/parenting/   Americanah - https://amzn.to/2CEUO1h Sharon’s website - sharonhchang.com Raising Mixed Race: Multiracial Asian Children in a Post-Racial World - https://amzn.to/2x17tW5   Join us at the Parenting Forward Patreon Team - https://www.patreon.com/cindywangbrandt

This week on Primary Sources, we've dug through our archives to present an interview with curator, author, and historian Delphine Hirasuna. She is the author of "The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps 1942-1946". She curated a traveling exhibition of the same name in 2010, which toured throughout the United States and Japan. This interview was conducted in 2011 for the Butler Center's exhibition "The Art of Living", which displayed works of art created by Japanese Americans incarcerated at Rohwer Relocation Center in Rohwer, Arkansas during World War II.
