The Asian Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) in collaboration with REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking and co-sponsored by Social Responsibility Round Table (SRRT), brings this joint-session featuring a panel of speakers who will share and highlight the perspectives of today’s migrant concentration camps experienced by refugees today and the Japanese American Concentration Camps experienced by people of Japanese ancestry during World War II. In this session, speakers will highlight the importance of solidarity in supporting Asian-Pacific Islander and Latinx immigrant and refugee communities-at-large by showcasing important resources, programs, and outreach activities. Attendees will learn from these perspectives through literature, services, and community engagement in fostering solidarity during challenging times.
