Masumi Hayashi exhibit on Japanese internment camps, part 2

This story about Masumi Hayashi first aired March 25, 2004, on "Outlook." It was rebroadcast Dec. 21, 2006, shortly after Congress approved $38 million to presevere WW II internment camps.
Our crew enjoyed meeting her, and learning about the history of the camps. So it was with sadness when we recently learned she was the victim of a senseless crime.
In August, Hayashi was shot to death in her Cleveland apartment.
As a tribute, we thought it would be worthwhile to take a second look at the work of Masumi Hayashi.

Thanks to West Virginia Public Broadcasting for making these video documentary segments on Dr. Masumi Hayashi, her journey and her artistic process, available to those of us who knew Dr. Hayashi, and those experiencing her work for the first time!

Dr. Hayashi and her work helped lay a cultural foundation for open dialogue about a difficult chapter in American history: the defining of a whole ethnic group, Japanese-Americans, as "enemy", and imprisoning them, seizing their property, for years.
