After Silence: Civil Rights and the Japanese-American Experience
As a child, Dr. Frank Kitamoto and his family lived on Bainbridge Island, WA, where the U.S. government first ordered Japanese Americans to register, leave their homes, and then intern them in detention camps - a panic-stricken reaction to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In After Silence, the past comes alive as Frank - who spent 3 -1/2 years of his childhood in an internment camp during WWII - and five students from his island community develop archival photographic prints in the high school darkroom. Together, Frank and the students discuss the need to safeguard the constitutional rights of those living in the United States.
