  • Summary

  • During World War II, thousands of Japanese people, including those who were American-born, were taken to concentration, or imprisonment, camps. We must remember their history.

    All of this and more in Episode 3 of the great wave podcast with Chizu Omori (she/her), a Japanese American activist. Chizu, as a young 12-year-old girl, was taken from her home to the Poston “relocation” camp during the Japanese imprisonment of World War II. Since that period, through her time at Berkeley and postcollege, Chizu became deeply involved with civil rights, including the fight for Japanese reparations. Currently, she is still part of activism, working with Tsuru for Solidarity and fighting for many causes, a large one being for the rights of Black Americans. We discuss her journey and how her time in the concentration camps affected her career as an activist. Listen wherever you get podcasts.
