Manzanar National Historic Site invites the public to recognize the United Nations’ 2021 International Day of Peace on Saturday, Sept. 18.
Manzanar is one of only 14 places across the continent selected by the North American Japanese Garden Association to host a “Gardens for Peace” event. During World War II, incarcerated Japanese Americans created gardens as places of serenity and beauty throughout Manzanar. Their works remain a testament to cultural pride in the face of prejudice, hope and action in the face of forced confinement, and building community ties in the face of imposed institutionalism.
Manzanar’s “Gardens for Peace” event is co-hosted by Dr. Kendall H. Brown and Jeffery F. Burton. Brown is a professor of Asian art history at CSU Long Beach and a noted scholar on the history and future of Japanese gardens. His 2013 book “Quiet Beauty: The Japanese Gardens of North America” is available from the nonprofit Manzanar store or by calling Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association at (760) 872-1220.
Burton is the cultural resources program manager at Manzanar National Historic Site and has researched, studied, written, and presented extensively on Japanese American incarceration sites. He leads the site’s award-winning Community Archaeology Program (CAP) and has enlisted hundreds of volunteers — ages 9 to 90 — from local towns and across the U.S., as well as from Japan, to excavate more than 20 gardens at Manzanar since 2003.
The North American Japanese Garden Association is presenting a special program Friday evening in Lone Pine, followed by tours and discussions at Manzanar the next day. The events will follow CDC protocol for COVID-19, including social distancing and requiring masks indoors and anywhere outdoors with multiple households present and/or where social distancing is not possible, regardless of vaccination status.

Expand your experience with a walking tour of up to two miles, depending on weather and interest, to explore additional gardens, as well as some unexcavated gardens.
