The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center is proud to announce a new addition to the Museum After Dark series: Sam Mihara Presents, on Friday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Sam Mihara will share the story of when he and his family were forcibly relocated from their home in San Francisco to Heart Mountain, Wyoming, a prison camp, following the outbreak of WWII. They were placed in a 20 x 20 foot barrack where they lived for the next three years, much like the many other U.S.-born American citizens of Japanese descent.
After the war ended, the Mihara family returned home, where Sam attended high school to eventually become an executive on space programs for the Boeing Company until his retirement.
Mihara’s presentation will be featured in conjunction with the Resilience: A Sansei Sense of Legacy exhibit.
The exhibit can be viewed for the regular cost of admission to the Heritage Center.
