He recalled for viewers the inhumane treatment, the fear, and the uncertainty he and his family endured inside and outside the camp during this tragic period in American history. Mr. Mihara’s firsthand account brought to life the spirit and resilience of Asians and Asian Americans who have faced hundreds of years of racial discrimination and government-sanctioned injustices in this country. It also served as an additional point of connection for students’ understanding of their current English text, Julie Otsuka’s When the Emperor Was Divine.
