Details
Order your coffee, grab a light bite to eat, and settle in for a night out talking about George Takei’s graphic novel memoir, “They Called Us Enemy.” Use the question prompts to get the conversation diving deeper and ask questions to the special guest speaker coming for one night only to share insights into this part of American history.
Join us as we explore actor and activist George Takei’s graphic novel memoir, “They Called Us Enemy.” Takei chronicles his childhood experience of imprisonment in a Japanese American incarceration camp with his family during World War II. Drop by to enjoy coffee, discussion, history tidbits, and more. At the meetings, attendees will talk about the book, discuss the experience of Japanese Americans during WWII, and think critically about this time in American history. Find copies to borrow from the Library here: https://www.boisepubliclibrary.org/info/search/ or purchase one from the Idaho State Museum store or Rediscovered Books. The book club is free and open to the public.
Presented by the Idaho State Museum and the Boise Public Library.
