K-12 educational outreach - veterans legacy program: gfbnec's project, titled "interned at home, honor on the battlefield: the remarkable stories of the japanese american soldiers of wwii," will bring the legacy of the nisei (second-generation japanese americans) world war II veterans to students from LOS angeles unified school district's downtown business magnets school. The go for broke journalism institute will focus student learning on the stories of 23 nisei world war II veterans - many who served their country while their families were incarcerated in american internment camps - and develop students' journalistic research and writing skills. Students will reflect upon this important chapter in U.S. History as well as contemporary issues surrounding civil liberties, social justice, racial tolerance, equality, and democracy.
