Renee Romano and Julie Min created a stirring educational and civics journey. As the son and grandson of those sent to WWII prison camps because of their Japanese ancestry, I found the exhibition [on Oberlin’s response to Japanese American internment] powerfully moving and an eloquent reminder of our continuing responsibility to exercise courage and demonstrate compassion in the defense of democracy.”
