Hello Members and Friends,
The Northern California Time of Remembrance committee (Japanese American Citizens League chapters of: Florin, Lodi, Placer County, and Sacramento) will host its annual day of remembrance program on Saturday, 11 March 2023, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
For the first time in three years, the NCTOR community event will return to the California Museum at 1001 O Street in downtown Sacramento. Event attendees will attend the grand opening of “Uprooted! An American Story. The Power of Education and Preservation in an Evolving World”. The Museum’s longest-running exhibit closed this past August for a redesign that will incorporate interactive components and other innovative features, demonstrating the power of education and preservation in an evolving world.
The program will feature an insightful presentation by Kevin Sayama of C&G Partners, the New York-based creative studio behind the exhibit’s transformative redesign.
Ticket prices for this year’s event are:
$15 for general admission

Free for 18 and under

What do sponsorship and donations to NCTOR support?
Sponsorships and donations support an eight-week educational program for approximately 4,000 students from throughout California, at the California Museum in Sacramento. Through volunteer docent-led tours, speakers, and virtual programming, student participants tour Uprooted! An American Story. The museum’s longest running exhibit has undergone a dramatic redesign to provide innovative and interactive learning experiences. Your support will help ensure access to the story of Japanese American incarceration and the fight for reparations and civil rights, and further inform tomorrow’s leaders as they explore concepts of citizenship and constitutionality.
