The Denver Art Museum opened a new exhibit of Korean moon jars. They’re white, globular jars that were popularized in the 17th and 18th centuries, and only 40 of these jars are in existence worldwide.

During World War II, tens of thousands of Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes and live in camps. For a Colorado author, the story of his own family’s incarceration inspired him to look at the legacy of those camps. He discussed his new book about it, on today’s In The NoCo.

The Denver Art Museum just opened the exhibit "The Life and Art of Tokio Ueyama." Some of his works depict scenes of Amache, a World War II, Japanese-American incarceration camp in Colorado.

The festival is a celebration of Colorado’s Asian American, Hawaiian Native and Pacific Islander communities. The festival brought in 200,000 attendees last year.

The Biden Administration has recognized some national landmarks in our region. But some advocates want to see more sites protected that are important to underrepresented groups.

The process of getting Amache under the National Park Service umbrella involved years of effort. It means more funding for preservation in the short term. But no matter who administers the site, everyone involved hopes the survivors – and their stories – stay front and center.

It started with a teacher who saw an opportunity to do a living history project and wound up volunteering to keep up the site at Amache for 30 years. Today, historians, survivors, and archaeologists are fighting to preserve the history there.

The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is something many don’t know about. The descendants of those imprisoned at Amache are sharing their family stories and helping to shed light on this dark period in history.

Amid a sharp rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, some Asian Americans living in the Mountain West say they are not surprised by the recent mass shootings at Atlanta-area spas that left eight people dead, including six women of Asian descent.
