Go For Broke Traveling Exhibit: Hawaii, 2014 (Photos)

Go for Broke explains the impact of the Nisei soldiers’ war record on the postwar civil rights of Japanese Americans and how it contributed to the successful passing of House Resolution 442 that resulted in the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. Curated by veteran historian Eric Saul, whose Japanese American exhibits were featured at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, Go for Broke preserves the legacy of Japanese American soldiers’ World War II experience for generations to come.

Go for Broke is sponsored by the Nisei Veterans Legacy Center and will be on display on the second floor of the UH West O‘ahu Library from March 31 – April 11. The exhibit is free and open to the public. UH West O‘ahu Chancellor Rockne Freitas will untie a maile lei at the opening of the exhibit on Monday, March 31 at 10:30 a.m. followed by a brief overview from Curator Eric Saul.

Go for Broke will be on display at the Honolulu Hale (City Hall) Exhibition Hall from April 14-25 and at the Maui Nisei Veterans Memorial Center on Maui from May 1 – June 13 following its stay at the UH West O‘ahu Library.
