WWII Japanese Concentration Camp Banners

Humboldt State University Library

January 18 - 31, 2022

Please check requirements to visit the HSU campus

Ten banners will highlight the history of the ten U.S. Japanese American concentration camps and the other incarceration camps holding Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans during World War II.

The Eureka Chinatown Project (ECP) is a collaboration of community members and Humboldt Asians & Pacific Islanders in Solidarity (HAPI). We celebrate the history and culture of the historic Chinese community in Humboldt while raising awareness of the local Chinese expulsion events and the federal and state exclusionary acts that shaped our society today. By educating our community, we hope to heal and move towards a more inclusive and just future.
