Past Events
Ventura County JACL Virtual Scholarship Reception
Sunday, May 31, 2020 from 2-4PM
We will recognize this year’s class of 2020 high school seniors who have won scholarships, including our inaugural Harry Kajihara Memorial Scholarship. This year is especially bittersweet because most graduations and end of the school year events have been cancelled as a result of the pandemic.
We plan to have the scholarship reception via Zoom in order to observe continued social distancing. If you have never used Zoom before, you have to download it at Zoom.com in order to access it via your computer, tablet or smart phone. Please contact venturacountyjacl@gmail.com for the link and password.
We hope you can join us in recognizing our outstanding high school scholarship winners!

Work in Progress Screening of Manzanar: Diverted
July 7, 2018
Please join us for the work-in-progress screening of Manzanar, Diverted: a documentary film, by Ann Kaneko about this wartime concentration camp in the Owens Valley. This film expands the story of Manzanar to reveal how water is at the heart of the experiences of Japanese Americans, Native Americans, farmers and ranchers, who contested the more powerful U.S. Army and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for control of this land. The filmmaker will be present for a Q&A after the screening.
