The Okinawa Memories Initiative at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is going to have a Zoom event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Koza Uprising.
“Fifty years ago this December, Okinawan protests against US military rule turned violent for the first and, so far, only time. On the anniversary, the Okinawa Memories Initiative will host a public discussion about the ‘Koza Riots,’ featuring an eyewitness photojournalist, an American army veteran who had been stationed in Okinawa and two Okinawan American scholars reflecting on race and the meaning of the event fifty years on in the days of Black Lives Matter.”
Registration is required.
Date: December 19 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm, PST
December 19 @ 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm, HST
