Once a thriving neighborhood filled with businesses, families, cultural institutions, and community life, Sacramento's Japantown was an integral part of the city's history. Yet, over the course of the twentieth century, this vibrant community was profoundly altered by the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II and the urban redevelopment that followed.
Join the Sacramento Historical Society on Tuesday, November 17, at the Sacramento History Museum for a special presentation featuring Michelle Huey of Reclaim Sacramento Japantown and Sachi Louie, a former resident of Japan Alley. Together, they will explore the neighborhood's remarkable history and the stories behind the museum's new exhibit, Sacramento Japantown: Destroyed by Design.
