This is what democracy looks like!”—this site explores what democracy looks like from the perspectives of five organizers working in today’s undocumented movement. Through their stories\, these organizers invite us to look beyond the headlines and the issues often associated with undocumented immigrants\, from DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to the DREAMers.

SUMMARY:Explore the "Many Voices\, One Nation" Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The people of North America came from many cultures and spoke different languages long before the founding of the United States\, even before European contact. In creating the new nation\, early leaders envisioned a country that promised opportunity and freedom—but only for some. As the population grew\, the people who lived in the United States found ways to negotiate\, or work out\, what it meant to be American. That negotiation continues. This exhibition explores how the many voices of people in America have shaped our nation.

SUMMARY:No-No Boy
DESCRIPTION:No-No Boy tells the story of Ichiro Yamada\, a fictional version of the real-life “no-no boys.” Yamada answered “no” twice in a compulsory government questionnaire as to whether he would serve in the armed forces and swear loyalty to the United States. Unwilling to pledge himself to the country that interned him and his family\, Ichiro earns two years in prison and the hostility of his family and community when he returns home to Seattle. As Ozeki writes\, Ichiro’s “obsessive\, tormented” voice subverts Japanese postwar “model-minority” stereotypes\, showing a fractured community and one man’s “threnody of guilt\, rage\, and blame as he tries to negotiate his reentry into a shattered world.”
