\"uprooted-01\"It’s finally here! Three years ago, the Oregon Multicultural Archives (OMA)<\/a> booked the traveling exhibit “Uprooted: Japanese American Farm Labor Camps during World War II” to come to OSU, and the exhibit is now here and open to the public!<\/p>\n

The exhibit showcases the history of the Japanese American farm labor camp near Nyssa, Oregon, through the stories of the people who lived and worked in the camp. The labor camp was the first of its kind organized during World War II. It became operational in May of 1942 and at its peak it held 350 people. Through the exhibit you learn about the camp, Oregon’s plan for the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during the war, and the national need for agricultural laborers, specifically in the sugar beet industry. For more information about the exhibit, photos, and links to more resources, be sure to view the exhibit website: Uprooted\u009d Exhibit<\/a><\/p>\n
