| Title | Coffee & Collections: A Dialogue with the Empty Chair Movers & Shakers |
| Start Date | 2014-10-11 |
| End Date | 2014-10-11 |
| Full Description | For this first Coffee & Collections of the season, Mary Tanaka Abo, Margie Alstead Shackelford, Karleen Alstead Grummett and other members of the Empty Chair Committee will share the back story of this memorial which honors Juneau's Japanese community who were unjustly incarcerating during World War II and is now installed at Capital Park. It is a fascinating and inspiring tale of friendship, determination, discovery and the power of community. Join us this morning for hot coffee, generously supplied by our Coffee & Collections sponsor Heritage Coffee and conversation with these indomitable movers and shakers. Also be sure to check out their blog at www.emptychairproject.wordpress.com. |
