Go For Broke National Education Center was proud to recently partner with the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai`i, Pacific Historic Parks, the Matsunaga Institute for Peace, the National Park Service and the Hawai`i Council for the Humanities to create an educator's institute titled, "Hidden Histories of World War II.”
Fourteen educators from the State of Hawai`i participated in the institute which covered Hawai`i's unique wartime experience through panel presentations, historical tours, and interactive discussions. Presenters included General (Ret.) David Bramlett, Tom Coffman, Carole Hayashino, William Kaneko, Betsy Young, and Jane Kurahara. The teachers visited Pearl Harbor, Honolulu Internment Site, and the historic Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
Central to the week's information was the role of the Japanese American soldiers who served during World War II and their role in changing Hawai`i upon their post-war return.
Thank you to the National Endowment of the Humanities for their partial funding of the institute. Watch the presentation highlights here!
