In Their Words

Renee Roman is project codirector of Courage and Compassion: Our Shared Story of the Japanese American World War II Experience, a travelling exhibit that tells both the national story of Japanese American incarceration during World War II and the local story of Oberlin’s response to the discriminatory wartime policy.

“This is really a moment where a community stood up and said we don’t need to racially profile an entire group of people in order to achieve our national security. That is not the right way to do that. It is not the right way to protect this country, and in fact it violates the ideals that this country stands for.”
