Japanese Americans have played a far more significant role in St. Louis history than many people realize. Although they have always represented a small percentage of the region’s population, their legacy can be traced across more than a century of local history, from the 1904 World’s Fair to the aftermath of World War II and to the cultural programs, landmarks, and architecture that still exist today.

Join us on Thursday, July 16 for the next Unseen STL History Talk with Robin A. Hattori.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., the talk begins at 7 p.m., and admission is $5. (Note: our cover charge helps support equipment and other expenses to bring you these talks. No one who wants to attend will be turned away for lack of funds.)
