In celebration of API history month, read "They Called Us Enemy," a graphic novel authored by pop-culture icon and Star Trek actor, George Takei. Experience his moving retelling of his memories as a Japanese-American forced to live in internment camps in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Here's how you can participate:

1/ Read the book! Borrow a copy of the book for up to 7 days (a very easy read) at the OCC Library circulation desk.

2/ Share your thoughts on the "They Called Us Enemy" Padlet: https://bit.ly/occapihmbookclub22

3/ Join a live discussion on Thurs, May 12th 3:30 PM on Zoom. Together, we'll read some the responses on the padlet and unpack the most significant themes and topics from the book.

Artist Jaime Sunwoo will discuss her surreal autobiographical performance Specially Processed American Me, which uses SPAM as the portal into her Asian American upbringing and her family's experiences of the Korean War. Join us on Zoom or in person for this presentation, then stay for an in-person SPAM Musubi-making workshop and social event at the Harbour Community Room.
