During the summer of 2025, K–12 educators from across the country came to JANM to participate in a series of workshops: “Little Tokyo: How History Shapes a Community Across Generations.” In addition to sessions with JANM Education staff, participants heard from guest scholars, educators, and community members about immigration, prewar racism, Bronzeville, World War II incarceration, postwar activism, the redress and reparations movement, and present day issues facing Little Tokyo. Together, they gained an in-depth understanding of Japanese American history through the lens of Little Tokyo.
