DESCRIPTION:Setsuko's Secret: Heart Mountain and the Legacy of the Japanese American 
 Incarceration\n\nA conversation with the Chair of the Heart Mountain 
 Wyoming Foundation, whose parents were both incarcerated as a result of 
 President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 signed on February 19, 1942. 
 This resulted in the incarceration of nearly 120,000 persons of Japanese 
 ancestry and is now known as “Day of Remembrance” in the Japanese 
 American community. Higuchi is also author of the book, "Setsuko's Secret: 
 Heart Mountain and the Legacy of the Japanese American 
 Incarceration."\n\nFeb 19, 2021 @ 9 AM PT (11 AM CT)\n\nRSVP:

 "Setsuko's Secret: Heart Mountain and the Legacy \nof the Japanese American 
 Incarceration" (Oct. 2020)\n\nhttps://uwpress.wisc.edu/books/5799.htm\n\nAs 
 children, Shirley Ann Higuchi and her brothers knew Heart Mountain only as 
 the place their parents met, imagining it as a great Stardust Ballroom in 
 rural Wyoming. As they grew older, they would come to recognize the name as 
 a source of great sadness and shame for their older family members, part of 
 the generation of Japanese Americans forced into the hastily built 
 concentration camp in the aftermath of Executive Order 9066.\n\nOnly after 
 a serious cancer diagnosis did Shirley's mother, Setsuko, share her vision 
 for a museum at the site of the former camp, where she had been donating 
 funds and volunteering in secret for many years. After Setsuko's death, 
 Shirley skeptically accepted an invitation to visit the site, a journey 
 that would forever change her life and introduce her to a part of her 
 mother she never knew.\n\nNavigating the complicated terrain of the 
 Japanese American experience, Shirley patched together Setsuko's story and 
 came to understand the forces and generational trauma that shaped her own 
 life. Moving seamlessly between family and communal history, Setsuko's 
 Secret offers a clear window into the "camp life" that was rarely revealed 
 to the children of the incarcerated. This volume powerfully insists that we 
 reckon with the pain in our collective American past.\n
