Welcome to the second season of “beyond generations,” an interview series. It’s my journey of discovering what happened to Japanese American people during WWII, and how people have been trying to acknowledge, understand, and learn from it, and figure out how to connect it to the future. I am your host, Monica.

Today’s guest is Tamiko Nimura. She is a third generation Japanese American. She is a co-author of a graphic novel “We Hereby Refuse: Japanese American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration.” She is also an organizer of the annual Day of Remembrance in Tacoma and Affiliate Professor of Urban Studies at the University of Washington Tacoma.

In this episode, Tamiko will talk about how her Japanese American father made her proud of her heritage as a child and how she found her purpose and mission as a public historian.

Let me take you along on my journey of discovery, with Tamiko Nimura.
