Honoring the Day of Remembrance with Dreamer Scholars
On February 19th, we joined communities across the country in observing the Day of Remembrance — a day to recall and reflect upon the incarceration of Japanese Americans that began with an executive order issued on that date in 1942.
At our Community Center in South Boulder, elementary, middle, and high school students gathered for age-appropriate cultural and historical learning sessions. Scholars explored Japanese culture and history through an introduction to origami, a wide array of Japanese snacks, and computer-based lessons that brought history to life in an engaging way.
A highlight of the day was the "Wishing Wall," where Dreamer Scholars wrote their own heartfelt wishes for a better, kinder world.
- My wish is that everybody could have freedom.
- I wish that people would say kind words to other people.
- I wish that every kid could feel safe at school/home and be able to play.
- I wish people wouldn't be taken away just because of the color of their skin.
Reading their reflections was a powerful reminder of why this work matters — and of how thoughtful and compassionate these Dreamer Scholars are.
If you have a moment, we invite you to watch a video of highlights, including more wishes, from these events. You'll be glad you did.
