DESCRIPTION:Oregon  Nikkei Endowment continues celebrating its 20th year in
  2010  with an exhibit featuring the history and story of how the Japanese
   American Historical Plaza came to be. Through the trials and  tribulatio
 ns of building the first memorial to Civil Rights\, the  Japanese American
  community came together to realize a dream\, and the  Plaza was dedicated
  in August of 1990. The poetry of Lawson Inada\, among  others\, combines 
 with the stunning and thoughtful design of landscape  designer Robert Mura
 se and sculpture of Jim Gion to form not only a  place of respite within t
 he city\, but also a place of remembrance\, and a  place to both acknowled
 ge and educate.\n\nNot only does the Plaza bear the great national legacy 
 as the  first memorial to civil liberties. Additionally\, it has been cele
 brated  and recognized for both its design and purpose\, with a multitude 
 of  awards and acclaim including the Portland Beautification Association<e
 m> Appreciation  Award</em> (1991)\, the American Institute of Architects 
 <em>Design</em> and <em>People&rsquo\;s Choice</em> Awards (1990)\, the <e
 m>ACLU Honor Award  Commendation for Civil Liberties</em> (1990) and The W
 aterfront Center (<em>Top  Honor\, Excellence on the Waterfront</em> \, 19
 91).\n\nJuly 30 - November 14\, 2010\n at the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center\
 n 121 NW 2nd Avenue\, Portland\n 503-224-1458\n <a href="http://www.oregon
