2024 Bid For Education
Join us in supporting JANM’s Bid for Education, initiated by Senator Daniel K. Inouye in 2000. This vital program enables over 12,000 students and teachers to experience JANM’s educational offerings annually. Your contributions fund transportation, museum admissions, and facilitated experiences for Title I schools, and underwrite resources for K-12 educator workshops and resource materials for classrooms. Enhanced in 2020 with virtual visits and professional development, the program now reaches a national audience. Because of your generosity, in 2023 we were able to increase our capacity back to pre-pandemic levels! Help us expand our impact with a new Mobile Outreach Program launching in 2024.
We appreciate the ongoing generosity of our donors, who play a crucial role in sharing the lessons of the Japanese American experience nationwide.
Although the Bid for Education receives much of its funding during its annual fundraiser, donations can be made at any time. For more information about the Bid for Education or to make a donation, visit janm.org/visit/financial-assistance or contact development@janm.org or 213.830.5646.

    This guy Will Ireton, He had a big job to translate Shohei’s long waited, watched by all over the world conference today. Yet he seems like wasn’t well prepared to comunícate with Shohei ahead of the time, didn’t have capacity to translate the details how Shohei’s expressed in Japanese. His statement could have received closer to how Shohei expressed with his emotion.

    How do you trace ancestor's farther back than immigrants parents. We have Grandma's koseki but no way to find her parents' parents names. We don't read japanese and japan doesn't seem to have an english website to look them up. Grandma was born 1925 so anyone we look up is already deceased. I often would like to see tokyo firebombing memorials in english to see if Grandma's sister's name is there or not. I have Grandma's certificate of naturalization and newspaper wrote about it. Grandma brought Dad with her to court to take her oath of naturalization. This was 1957. I'm not sure why Grandpa didn't go or keep the other kids. There were 2 more. We have the passengerlist for Grandma and my husband's Grandma (she disowned her grandchildren because she wasnt happy that her son didnt marry the japanese lady she set him up with abd instead had 2 American wife's (not at the same time) with 2 kids each. I have some stories from Grandma's mouth. Dad's stories too. Grandpa had orders back to Japan when Dad was small. He remembers meeting his cousins by Grandma's brother and my Great Grandparents. Aparently he wandered off on his way to army elementary school and missed the train. the Japanese metro workers passed him from person to person until he got to school. He didn't speak Japanese, but they knew he was an american student. This was in 60s. Grandma had her birth name and selected a middle name that she went by in America.
