THE NEW SUBURBIA: HOW DIVERSITY REMADE SUBURBAN LIFE IN LOS ANGELES AFTER 1945

Event Type
Culture & Community

Description

America’s suburbs are undergoing significant transformation. The traditional view of suburbs as predominantly white, middle-class areas no longer reflects reality. Today, they encompass a diverse mix of residents—rich and poor, Black, Latino, Asian, immigrants, and the unhoused. This shift is especially evident in Los Angeles, where many suburbs have become majority-minority. The New Suburbia explores the experiences of Asian Americans, Black Americans, and Latinos who moved into formerly exclusive neighborhoods.

2025 Los Angeles Day of Remembrance – A Legacy of Courage: Nikkei Women Persevering Through Incarceration and Beyond

Event Type

Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
The annual Los Angeles Day of Remembrance commemorates the signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Executive Order 9066 authorized the US military to forcibly remove persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast and set into motion their incarceration into concentration camps during World War II. During JANM on the Go we are pleased to partner with the Los Angeles DOR Committee for this year’s commemoration at the Los Angeles Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple.

 

This year’s theme, A Legacy of Courage: Nikkei Women Persevering Through Incarceration and Beyond, celebrates Nikkei women’s stories, their determination to rebuild and thrive after World War II, and their contributions to our community and culture. The program will feature a discussion between multigenerational Nikkei women and commemorate women leaders throughout the history of the Japanese American community.
