<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Imagine: you’re a budding successful photographer in California with a bright future, and then on December 7th, 1941 everything changes. Midori Shimoda could have never imagined the trajectory that his life
would take for the next few years, especially his internment at <b>Fort Missoula</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Join authors Risa Shimoda (<i>Midori’s daughter</i>), and Bob Fleshner for a discussion of their book:
<b>Photographic Memories: A Story of Shinjitsu</b> live via <b>zoom</b>. Risa will share stories from the book about her father’s fascinating biography complete with an unaccompanied trip across the Pacific as a child, finding refuge in Utah, arrest under suspicion
of espionage, and the courage to begin a new life in a new city.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Reviewers have offered moving responses to having read this biography of Midori Shimoda and the testimonials include excerpts from a recent conversation with Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“This is a compelling, fascinating biography that tells the story of Midori Shimoda who was not only a photographer, but a really good photographer.” Winston offers about the man whose liberty was taken from
him for being Japanese in the wake of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the evacuation of 120,000 Japanese from west coast states to detention centers across the country. Winston continued, “He was pursuing a profession that was about the worst he could
have, under the circumstances: his story is explained in a lovely way.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“Dad’s unlikely journey included: a three-week long, trans-Pacific, ocean crossing without family or friends at the age of nine; a perilous evacuation from California immediately after the bombing of Pearl
Harbor; refuge with a Mormon family in Utah; arrests for suspected espionage; and federal internment he had so earnestly sought to avoid,” notes Midori’s daughter and co-author Risa Shimoda. “Amazingly,” she continues, “his path intersected with an extraordinary
assortment of individuals, including Grace Kelly, Fay Wray, J. Edgar Hoover, and Betty Hutton.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Co-author Bob Fleshner, loves Winston’s final thoughts. “He offered this: ‘I read a good bit. In fact, I’m always reading a number of books at the same time and never get through somewhere between a third
and half of them. I’ll put down books as soon as I get bored, but I didn’t think about putting this to the side until I’d finished it. It’s a first-class book that belongs in bookstores everywhere.’ “<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Discussion will include a Q & A with the authors and webinar will be recorded and made available on the Museum’s website,
