Join leaders in the Japanese American and Muslim American communities in a conversation on ‘Muslims at Manzanar: A Civil Rights Journey,’ produced by the Council on American Islamic Relations.
This documentary follows CAIR staff as they participate in the 2019 Manzanar Pilgrimage that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the first organized Manzanar Pilgrimage in 1969.
