Thank you very much Nadia, and thank you again for your support, which truly helped make the pilgrimage such an educational and impactful experience for all those who attended.

Thanks for the shoutout, Jeff! I was enjoying the read and was so pleasantly surprised to see my review included.

I’m so glad you all had such a good experience at pilgrimage (and JAMP really is amazing); I find that pilgrimage lives up to its name because when we journey to these sites, it is viscerally clear how far-flung and isolated they are for most of us. It’s so poetic that they’ve become a place for voluntary reunion and community. Heading to Heart Mtn as we speak!

Thank you Katey — happy to include a spotlight on your fantastic review. And totally agree with you regarding pilgrimages to the sites. Was thrilled to read about your recent experience at the Heart Mountain pilgrimage, by the way — always appreciate your insights and thoughtful reflections.

Thank you for sharing the video of your conversation with Frank Abe at the recent Jerome Rohwer Pilgrimage! The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration and We Hereby Refuse are both ready for me to pick up at my library. This was a good introduction before I read these books.

Thank you Maggie, for checking out the video — and thrilled that you are reading Frank Abe's books! Both books are great reads, and provide incredible insights into the incarceration experience.
