May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

It’s a good time to highlight the important story of Japanese American artist Miné Okubo. Okubo was a gifted artist who was working with Diego Rivera on murals for the WPA when she was forced into an incarceration camp for Japanese American citizens during World War 2. Okubo used her skills as an artist to depict the injustice in her landmark book Citizen 13660.

Her work helped give us a profound new lens on the American identity. It was an honor to speak with her nieces and share her story in The People’s Recorder.
