Ann Burroughs, President and CEO from the Japanese American National Museum, and Jeff Yang, curator of the museum's New Frontiers: The Many Worlds of George Takei exhibition talk to us about recent exhibitions. One of the latest is the Instructions to All Persons: Reflections on Executive Order 9066 which was FDR’s Order signed on February 19th, 1942. This paved the way for forced removal and incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry. In honor of 25th Anniversary of the Japanese American National Museum, a Gala will be held, May 6th, at the Bonaventure Downtown. http://www.janm.org/
