Named after Coffman’s new book<\/a> of the same title, the forum will explore the collaboration between the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> and the community prior to and during World War II<\/abbr>. Threatened by marginilization of the Japanese-ancestry community, key individuals mapped a visionary course to circumvent internment, promote interracial harmony, and maximize everyone’s participation in the war effort.<\/p>\n
