SUMMARY:Recalling the Ancestors: Buddhism and the WWII Japanese American Internment
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n  \nNearly all Japanese Americans were subject to accusations of disloyalty during World War II\, but Buddhists aroused particular suspicion. In this pathbreaking account\, Duncan Ryūken Williams reveals how\, even as they were stripped of their homes and imprisoned in camps\, Japanese American Buddhists launched one of the most inspiring defenses of religious freedom in our nation’s history\, insisting that they could be both Buddhist and American. \nAbout Duncan Ryuken Williams \nAn ordained Buddhist priest in the Soto Zen tradition\, Duncan Ryūken Williams has spent years piecing together the story of the Japanese American community during World War II. A renowned scholar of Buddhism\, he is now the Director of the Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture at the University of Southern California. \nIn honor of Day of Remembrance\, Buddhist priest and scholar Duncan Ryuken Williams will be leading a reading and discussion of his book American Sutra: A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War. \nThis event is free with a $3-5 suggested donation.

SUMMARY:An Orphan For You Conference
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nOACC is proud to host Day 2 of “An Orphan for You”: The Rise of Korean Adoption in the 1970s and 80s\, a free conference in Berkeley and Oakland\, CA. The conference will take place over two days\, from February 22-23\, 2020.During the 1970s and 80s\, South Korea sent the largest number of children overseas for adoption – over 112\,000 out of an estimated 200\,000 globally – leading some to refer to the country as “the land of orphans.” But many Korean children\, perhaps the majority\, who were sent overseas for adoption were social orphans who had at least one living parent and\, in some cases\, an intact family. \nWhat were the factors in South Korea that resulted in so many children being sent overseas at a time of rapid industrialization and rising wealth? What fueled interest in adopting Korean children among parents in the U.S.? \nCo-presented by Me & Korea\, Mu Films\, Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies (U.C. Berkeley)\, and the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. \nVisit https://meandkorea.org/conference to learn more.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”R.S.V.P.

SUMMARY:Chicken of the Sea: A Children's Book Reading
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nEnjoy a live reading by the authors of Chicken of the Sea\, a collaborative children’s book from Viet Thanh Nguyen and Thi Bui\, and their children Ellison Nguyen and Hien Bui-Stafford. \nA band of intrepid chickens leave behind the boredom of farm life\, joining the crew of the pirate ship Pitiless to seek fortune and glory on the high seas. Led by a grizzled captain into the territory of the Dog Knights\, they soon learn what it means to be courageous\, merciful\, and not seasick quite so much of the time. \nA whimsical and unexpected adventure tale\, Chicken of the Sea originated in the five-year-old mind of Ellison Nguyen\, son of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen; father and son committed the story to the page\, then enlisted the artistic talents of Caldecott Honor winner Thi Bui and her thirteen-year-old son\, Hien Bui-Stafford\, to illustrate it. This unique collaboration between two generations of artists and storytellers invites you aboard for adventure\, even if you’re chicken. Maybe especially if you’re chicken. \nCo-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Eastwind Books of Berkeley.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”CLICK TO R.S.V.P.” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foacc.liveimpact.org%2Fli%2F8737%2Fsevent%2Fevt%2Fhome%2F131527%2F69||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
