Day of Remembrance 2022 features a variety of speakers celebrating the
passage of the Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History
(TEAACH) Act. Signed into law on July 9, 2021, the TEAACH Act makes
Illinois the first state to mandate that Asian American history be taught in
public schools. Join us to learn why the TEAACH Act matters, how the task
of implementation is being addressed, and how the Japanese American
community is contributing to the effort. The program will feature a showcase
of classroom-ready resources for teaching about EO9066 and incarceration
through a Chicago lens.

Chicago-based Ho Etsu Taiko will take the stage to perform a new work
composed especially for Day of Remembrance 2022. Ho Etsu Taiko blends
the deep-rooted culture of Japanese American drumming with influences that
inspire and celebrate the diversity of their performing members.
This year’s event will be held at the Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark
Street. Masks and vaccinations required. There will be no refreshments.
