40 Days Live: Michiko Bown-KaiJoin us today at 12:00 p.m. EST for the next 40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism Live event. Michiko Bown-Kai’s grandparents were interned in a Japanese internment camp in B.C. during World War II. Learning about their experiences helped Bown-Kai understand identity and the impacts of racism. “Acts of racist violence are not just singular moments; they change who we are and remain with us with a haunting presence.” Join Michiko Bown-Kai in a discussion about a story that dominant Canadian culture would rather forget or erase. Register to join us on Zoom, or watch the livestream on our Facebook page. The session will also be recorded and made available on YouTube afterwards.

When: November 23, 2021. 12:00 noon EST / 9:00 a.m. PST
