Actor and activist George Takei will discuss and sign his new children’s book, “My Lost Freedom: A Japanese American World War II Story” at the Japanese American National Museum (JANM), 100 N. Central Ave. in Little Tokyo, on Sunday, April 21, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
The iconic “Star Trek” actor, a dedicated charter member, trustee, and chair emeritus of the JANM Board of Trustees, will be joined by the book’s illustrator, Michelle Lee, for a reading, conversation, and book signing.
Tickets are $16 general, $9 for seniors and students, and free for JANM members, and are available at janm.org/events. Tickets include admission to JANM on April 21.
“Congratulations to George on this wonderful accomplishment,” said Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of JANM. “He not only reflects upon his own memories of the camps — the Santa Anita temporary detention center, Rohwer concentration camp, and Tule Lake Segregation Center — but also helps children of today understand what it feels like to be treated as an enemy and outsider in your own country.
“His family’s courage and his own resilience as a young boy shaped the man he is today as well as his commitment to the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of grave injustice.”
“My Lost Freedom,” from the author of the New York Times bestselling graphic memoir “They Called Us Enemy,” is published by Crown Books for Young Readers and is available at the JANM Store for $19.99.
