…a catalyst for change through cultural awareness–learning from the past in order to influence the future.
At its core is NJAHS’s dedication to engaging audiences. By sharing story of Japanese Americans, their triumphs and tribulations, we tell others about the lessons learned from the past. That way, we can all be better informed to make our impact and pay it forward.
NJAHS engages audiences through a variety of interpretive means:
