In the summer of 1944, 63 incarcerated Japanese American men were convicted in federal court in Wyoming of violating the Selective Service Act after refusing to participate in the draft. All were members of the Heart Mountain Fair Play Committee, the largest draft resistance organization in any of the 10 War Relocation Authority camps. Join Assistant Curator Brandon Daake as he discusses the group’s efforts to challenge the military conscription and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II as well as their postwar movement to secure redress and reparations for camp survivors.

Dinner with a Curator is an evening of dinner and history hosted by The American Sector Restaurant & Bar culinary team and Museum professionals. Guests participate in discussion on a featured topic related to World War II, which is interpreted through the Museum's collection and a theme-inspired four-course dinner paired with beverage specials. Ticket sales end 48 hours prior to the start of the event.
