On September 29, 1943, the U.S. Army's 100th Infantry Battalion, segregated battalion of #Nisei, entered their first day of combat near Chiusano, Italy. Sgt. Joe Takata was the first member of the 100th to be killed in action. He was awarded the DSC for his bravery under fire.

Privileged to have shared this experience with so many awesome educators. reynasofia Pasadena Unified Professional Development Jennifer Miyake-Trapp

Chaplain Yamada in a letter to Col. Sherwood Dixon in Oct 1944: “The cost has been high. I admire the courage and discipline of our loyal men. They take their orders in stride without complaint and go into the volley of fire, with one spirit and one mind" #442nd #LostBattalion

Always difficult to be away from students during the school year. But, some professional learning alongside the incredible team from Pasadena Unified School District & Pasadena Magnet Schools is an invaluable opportunity! Thanks, msapcenter & U.S. Department of Education. #magnetedchat

Privileged to hear from Roberto J. Rodríguez at the msapcenter Project Directors Meeting. He shared that the U.S. Department of Education is a “service agency” with “Equity as our North Star.” #magnetedchat #education #k12education

If you’re an educator looking to learn more about the Japanese American incarceration, apply to our summer 2023 NEH Education workshops. rafu.com/2022/12/heart-…

Higher education no different.

#WomensHistoryMonth highlighting the remarkable Japanese American women who served as U.S. Army translators, nurses & other roles that supported the American war effort in #WWII. They enlisted from WRA camps & Hawaii in hopes for a better life for their families and themselves.

Planning a field trip? We have received a grant to pay $150 to help cover transportation costs from your school to Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation. It's a great way to learn about an important part of American history.

San Luis Obispo once had a thriving Japantown until the Alien Land Law and the Japanese American Incarceration destroyed it. kcbx.org/culture-and-id…

Had the honor of meeting Darrell & learning about his Uncle Ted last year while NEH Education teacher workshop farewell dinner & Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation Pilgrimage. #goforbroke

Awesome livestream learning opportunities from Matsunaga Institute with support from NEH Education & Go For Broke National Education Center! #goforbroke

No better way to spend an afternoon of summer break. Thankful for this day of learning. “Hidden Histories of WWII,” live-streamed to the mainland from Matsunaga Institute with support from NEH Education, Pacific Historic Parks, JCCH, Go For Broke National Education Center & National Park Service. #goforbroke

Had the privilege of meeting Liz last year at an NEH Education workshop Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation. An incredible educator.

Classless hit by Team England (Men) at the end of a great game vs 日本ラクロス協会（Japan Lacrosse）. An incredible victory for the Japanese squad to finish 5th overall is now overshadowed by an unnecessary hit from England’s # 24. The Creator’s Game deserves better. #WLMC

We are sending our best wishes to Sota Hakozaki, who left the field in an ambulance after sustaining a late hit at the end of 日本ラクロス協会（Japan Lacrosse）'s win over England on Friday night 🙏
