On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the Embassy of Japan hosted a talk event and reception at the Japan Information & Culture Center (JICC) in Washington, D.C. for the The National Endowment for the Humanities’ 51st Jefferson Lecture.
The event began with opening remarks from the Japanese Embassy followed by an introduction to Sam Mihara by Sarah Higuchi, Board Chair of the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation.
We were honored to attend and hear Mr. Mihara’s lecture titled “Memories of Injustice” about his experience as a child being incarcerated at Heart Mountain with his family.
The event was sponsored by the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation and the Embassy of Japan.
