American Sutra: A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War
A Lecture with Dr. Duncan Ryūken Williams (University of Southern California)
Event Date & Time
The mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II is not only a tale of injustice; it is a moving story of faith. In this pathbreaking account, Duncan Ryūken Williams reveals how, even as they were stripped of their homes and imprisoned in camps, Japanese American Buddhists launched one of the most inspiring defenses of religious freedom in our nation’s history, insisting that they could be both Buddhist and American.
