Fee: $0.00

Sessions: 2
Building: Offsite
Room:
Instructor: Bobbie Kite
REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. This class is already in session.
Between 1942 and 1945, the United States government incarcerated over 120,000 Japanese Americans at ten sites across the country. Amache, in southeastern Colorado, held 7000+ people at its peak, two thirds of them native-born American citizens. It is now a National Historic Site. In this Educational Journey, we travel to Amache together as pilgrims, not tourists. We will bear witness to what happened here, honor those who were incarcerated and those who served, and sit with hard questions about citizenship, shame, and what it means to remember. This is an emotionally demanding experience. Come prepared to be present and grapple with hard truths. Facilitated by Dr. Bobbie Kite, CPE certified chaplain and practicing secular pilgrim with over 350 documented NPS site visits across all 63 major national parks.
Participation Expectations: This is a full-day experience of approximately 12 hours. Participants should be comfortable sitting in a vehicle for approximately 3.5 hours each way and sustaining a full day outing. Travel and meals provided (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack).
