Grace Forum Online with Tom Coffman: Inclusion
May 25, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Following December 7, 1941, the United States government interned 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry evicted from scattered settlements throughout the West Coast states, yet why was a much larger number concentrated in the Hawaiian Islands war zone not similarly incarcerated?
Tom Coffman is a political journalist and leading historian of modern Hawai‘i, author of six books and director of six documentary films. His latest book is Inclusion: How Hawai‘i Protected Japanese Americans from Mass Internment, Transformed Itself, and Changed America.
In making sense of the disparity between Island and mainland, Inclusion unravels the deep history of the U.S. “sabotage psychosis,” the causes of the internment and the special set of forces in Hawai‘i that preserved its interracial harmony through the depths of war.
Each year the cathedral chooses a theme for inspiration and reflection, and in 2022 our theme is connection. Join Dean Malcolm Clemens Young during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month for a conversation with Coffman about how small groups with a common goal and working cooperatively can result in wondrous social change.

“Brilliant and meticulous, Tom Coffman reveals the people and forces that spared territorial Hawai‘i’s Japanese populace from mass removal after Pearl Harbor and enabled its sons to serve America gallantly in World War II. The heroes of this true story…were inspired by an idealism and aloha that the world can learn from today. Based on groundbreaking research, Coffman’s compelling account gives them recognition that they richly deserve.—Mark Matsunaga, Hawai‘i journalist and World War II historian
