Exiled to Motown
For Exiled to Motown: A recent exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum called “Exiled to Motown” explored the Japanese American experience here in Metro Detroit. It’s a story of displacement and resettlement. Japanese Americans were sent to incarceration camps during World War II. When resettlement started, their choices were limited: stay in the camps with the people they knew, or head east and start new lives in places they’d never imagined. One Detroit’s Bill Kubota has more.
