AAPI Month Film: "Baseball Behind Barbed Wire"

During WWII, 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in camps throughout the country. "Baseball Behind Barbed Wire" shows how playing baseball helped them get through this very difficult time.

This program is co-presented by OCA Asian Pacific American Advocates - Westchester and Hudson Valley Chapter, the Japanese American Association of New York, the Japanese American Citizens League - New York Chapter, and the Westchester Human Rights Commission.

After the 32-minute film there will be panel discussion featuring Japanese American activists Takeshi Furumoto and Suki Terada Ports. Furomoto was born in an internment camp, and Ports grew up in New York City where her mother was under house arrest by the FBI during WWII.
