Ages 13-18. We will be reading and discussing the graphic novel, "They Called Us Enemy" by George Takei, Justin Eisinger
George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights.

In a stunning graphic memoir, Takei revisits his haunting childhood in American concentration camps, as one of over 100,000 Japanese Americans imprisoned by the U.S. government during World War II. Experience the forces that shaped an American icon--and America itself--in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love.
