In this video originally recorded live via Zoom for the 2021 Sacramento Archives Crawl, you'll learn about the perseverance of the Japanese American community of Winters and how that history is being preserved.

As part of the Crawl, and in partnership with the Yolo County Archives, Floyd Shimomura presented on his research into the Japanese American community of Winters, California. He was joined by Emily Masuda, who discussed her efforts to preserve this history as a teacher and creative writer. Their presentation explores findings from archives, museums, and online databases to reveal information about the Winters Japanese School, genealogy, wonderful treasures from family collections, and the redress movement.

The presentation was facilitated and moderated by Yolo County Archives Coordinator Heather Lanctot.
