Opportunity for Teachers and Students

This fall, students have a chance to be published in YES! magazine. Open to all grade levels, students read and submit a response to the article, "What Japanese Internment Taught Us About Standing Up for Our Neighbors," by YES! editorial director Tracy Matsue Loeffelholz.

Matsue Loeffelholz, a member of the Japanese American community on Bainbridge Island, Washington, reflects on the Japanese saying nidoto nai yoni: "Let it not happen again," and what communities might do differently today to protect the civil liberties of our vulnerable neighbors.
