DESCRIPTION:<strong>November 17\, 2012 - May 12\, 2013</strong>\n<em>Coming
  Home: Voices of Return and Resettlement\, 1945-1965</em> traces the reest
 ablishment of the Japanese American community in Oregon after World War II
  and examines the injustices of war-time relocation. The <em>Coming Home</
 em> exhibition has been woven from personal stories of return and resettle
 ment by Nikkei &mdash\; men\, women\, and children of Japanese descent &md
 ash\; forced from their Oregon farms and homes and incarcerated as "enemie
 s" during World War II. Most were American citizens. Many had lost everyth
 ing. Determination and memories of place\, family and community guided the
 m home.\n\nFor those that chose to return\, what kind of homecoming did th
 ey face? How did they reestablish themselves\, their community\, homes\, f
 amilies and businesses in a still unwelcoming America?\n\nOn display throu
 gh May 12\, 2013\, the videos\, photographs\, oral histories\, and artifac
 ts gathered for <em>Coming Home</em> feature the unique stories of nine co
 mmunity members. Modeled after a program at the Japanese Cultural and Comm
 unity Center of Northern California\, their firsthand accounts speak to th
 e uniqueness of being Japanese and living in Oregon\, the establishment of
  families and livelihoods\, the catastrophe of internment\, fighting for c
 ivil rights and civic engagement.\n\nOregon Nikkei Endowment\n 121 NW 2nd
