Exhibit features arts and crafts of Japanese internment camps

The article, Book leads way to art exhibit, appearing in the ContraCostaTime.com, provides information on "The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps 1942-1946," an exhibit by author and curator, Delphine Hirasuna whose own parents were interned in one of the camps. The exhibit runs until February 25 at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco. Admission is free on February 19, to commemorate the signing of Executive Order 9066, which brought about the internment. You can visit the Museum's web site at http://www.mocfa.org/.

" In "Senate backs bill to preserve internment camp sites" we are reminded of this very sad but important chapter in our nation's history.
