Courtesy Japanese American National MuseumYang added that the collection’s diversity reflects the varied experiences of detainees — perspectives that were overlooked by US officials at the time. The detention of Japanese Americans, Emanuel said, was a “shameful” chapter in American history. Courtesy Japanese American National MuseumSome juggled their art with more pressing responsibilities — like Hibi, who single-handedly raised her two children after her husband’s death by working in a garment factory, all while painting and attending art classes.
