The Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in Los Angeles faces federal funding cuts of $2 million as a result of DOGE's actions. But the team at JANM isn't pulling back any of its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka told the LA Times. Here's more from @ArtNews.

Located in the Japanese American National Museum in L.A., the Ireicho contains the names of 125,284 people of Japanese descent - many being U.S. citizens, who were removed from their homes and unjustly sent to 75 detention centers and prison camps throughout the western United States.

Surrounding the Ireicho are wooden markers with the detention center and incarceration site names and glass jars containing soil samples from all 75 sites. #ireicho #janm
