“In this place of sadness, injustice and pain, we will do something joyful, righteous and healing. We will play baseball”
The Manzanar Baseball Project is a compelling sport-meets-art initiative spearheaded by Artistic Director, Dan Kwong, dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of wartime baseball in the Japanese American internment camp located in the high desert of California. The project sheds light on the profound significance of baseball as a symbol of resilience, cultural identity and community spirit in the face of injustice.
