First-Person Account of Japanese Internment
For three and a half years during World War II, the US government incarcerated Yoshiko Kanazawa because of her Japanese heritage. After the war, Yoshiko’s family returned to Pasadena, California, where she completed high school. Yoshiko went on to earn a bachelors from UCLA and an education masters from the University of Illinois. Silent about the injustice for most of her life, Yoshiko felt compelled to speak up to avoid any repeat of this tragic episode of history. Today, Yoshiko will share her life-altering experiences while imprisoned in camps in Tulare, California, and Gila River, Arizona.

Lighting the Flame
The fire that gives the ‘Spirit of Life’ its heat is courage. This often overlooked dimension of spiritual life is not the opposite of compassion, but rather its partner. Without it, we become passive, stuck, or burned out. But courage on its own becomes mere aggression. We need Wise Courage: assertive, purposeful, caring and oriented toward flourishing — for ourselves, for our communities, and for future generations. –Ross Hannibal, service lay leader
