While Italian Americans served bravely in WWII, their relatives, and loved ones back home endured hardships along the California coast—property seizure, curfew and travel restrictions, forced relocation, shame, and selective internment. They too had become enemy aliens. And after Proclamation 4 called for the Japanese exodus in March of 1942, the Italians were slated to follow. Come for the talk; stay for the discussion. This fall, Author of the Month will be part of a quarter-long (Sept – Dec) program, The Rebellious Miss Breed: San Diego Public Library & the Japanese American Incarceration featuring San Diego librarian Clara Breed, who fought against the Japanese incarceration during WWII and rose to protest this deeply historic wrong. This project has been made possible with support from California Humanities, a partner of the NEH. Visit calhum.org. Dates and times of events are subject to change without notice.
