- Description:
- Naoko Wake, professor of History at Michigan State University, delivers a talk entitled "Hibakusha in cold war America: the working lives of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors."

Wake highlights the racist nature of this treatment and classifies it as a legacy of the nuclear age and a product of the consistent labeling of Japanese-Americans as foreigners. She answers questions from the audience. The event is convened by professor John P. Beck from the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
