 Year Composition Program at Northern Illinois University\, present <strong
 >“Breaking the Japantown Stereotype: Who Were the Japanese and Japanese 
 Americans in Chicago 1865–1940?”</strong>\n\nMost people think of the 
 Japanese as so group-oriented that they would naturally form Japantowns\, 
 enclaves for Japanese immigrants in US cities. Yet\, unlike their counterp
 arts on the West Coast who were subject to strong racism\, the Japanese in
  Chicago felt free to live where they chose\, based on their own sense of 
 individuality and self-identity. Join Takako and Michael Day to learn abou
 t the many and varied lives of Japanese immigrants\, as well as their fami
 lies and their professions\, introducing\, through Chicago history\, a new
  aspect of Japanese American history in the United States.\n\n<em>The Zoom
  session will open at 6:45 p.m. with the program starting at 7:00 p.m. and
  concluding by 8:15 p.m. RSVP is required.  </em>\n\n<strong><a href="h
