A bipartisan visionary who championed political civility, Mineta remains a change maker whose legacy includes a lifelong commitment to social justice.\r\rNorman Mineta and His Legacy: An American Story is presented as part of the Mineta Legacy Project, which offers “What Does It Mean To Be An American?”—a free online educational curriculum developed in collaboration with Stanford’s SPICE program.\r\rDirector/Co-Producer, Dianne Fukami has produced, directed, and written more than a half-dozen documentaries on the Asian-American experience which were broadcast on PBS stations throughout the U.S. Separate Lives, Broken Dreams, about the Chinese Exclusion Act, was nominated for a national Emmy Award; Starting Over: Japanese Americans After the War has received scholarly citations for its first-person anecdotes.\r\rFukami first collaborated with Co-Producer Debra Nakatomi on the documentary Stories From Tohoku, a film about the survivors of the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan. Nakatomi is the founder of a strategic communications firm that for over 25 years has developed issue advocacy and educational campaigns on health, environmental, and social issues.\r\rThis event is presented as part of Spurlock Museum's exhibit Debates, Decisions, Demands: Objects of Campaigns and Activism and generously co-sponsored by the Spurlock Museum and the Asian American Cultural Center. \r"
