The Nikkei Legacy

On July 29, 2018, a blistering hot day, an estimated 200 people descended on the Nikkei Legacy Park in Greenwood to remember the Nikkei who were interned there seventy-six years ago. Internees and their descendants, government representatives, local residents, and others interested in celebrating the occasion joined the unveiling of the Nikkei Legacy Park Project and the Nikkei Legacy Interpretive Greenwood Internment Signage.
