Please join us at the February 6, 2020 Fettuccine Forum, where Jessica Asai, a fourth generation Japanese American, will speak to the legacy of Minoru Yasui’s Supreme Court case protesting the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II and the implications for citizenship and civil liberties today.
Jessica Asai is yonsei, a fourth generation Japanese American who was raised in Hood River, Oregon where her family has farmed for four generations. Jessica is a founding board member of the Oregon Asian Pacific American Bar Association and contributed to the team effort that successfully nominated Minoru Yasui for a 2015 Presidential Medal of Freedom.
