The daughter of Japanese immigrants, Michi Nishiura Weglyn was confined in Arizona's Gila River concentration camp during World War II. She later became a costume designer for Broadway and worked as the wardrobe designer for some of the most popular television personalities of the '50s and early '60s. In 1968, after a televised statement by the US Attorney General that concentration camps in America never existed, Michi embarked on an eight-year solo quest through libraries and the National Archives to expose and account for the existence of the World War II camps where she and other Japanese Americans were imprisoned. Her research became a major catalyst for passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, in which the US government admitted that its treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II was wrong. Thoroughly researched and intricately told, Michi Changes History is a masterful portrayal of one woman's fight for the truth-and for justice"-- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Weglyn, Michi, $d 1926-1999 $v Juvenile literature. 600 17 $a Weglyn, Michi, $d 1926-1999. $2 sears 650 0 $a Japanese American women $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Costume designers $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $x Forced removal and internment, 1942-1945 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $x Reparations $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Japanese Americans $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Fashion designers $z United States $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Japanese Americans $x Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945. $2 sears 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Reparations. $2 sears 941 $a 5 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240207010310.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230630010800.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230502010452.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230411012759.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230404020234.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06818E9ED2B111ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
