Author Art Williams at Manzanar National Historic Site

Before the war, Williams’ grandparents owned a farm at Manzanar. During the war, his parents worked for the War Relocation Authority. He will share his memories of the Owens Valley in the 1940s and explain what it was like to live at Manzanar under very different circumstances than Japanese Americans.
