Description
It’s a little-known but fascinating chapter in local history— how two young
Japanese-American detainees came to live in Harbert during World War II. They
were brought out of detention camps by Carl & Paula Sandburg— he was America’s
most famous poet, she one of the country’s best goat-breeders.
Museum Vice President Nick Bogert stumbled upon this unlikely saga of Sunao
Imoto and Kaye Miyamoto by chance, and will present a Power Point program on the
Sandburgs and the Nisei (American-born Japanese) at 6:30 pm on Friday, July 19th.
The program will be held in the meeting room at Chikaming Township Hall, 13535
Red Arrow Highway, in Harbert.
Admission is $5 for museum members, $20 for non-members, (the $20 includes a
museum membership). All proceeds will go to The Region of Three Oaks Museum, a
501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to preserving and presenting local history.
