AN AMERICAN STORY DVD

Tom Graves announces the release of An American Story, a 14-minute DVD on the history of Nisei Veterans in California. By telling the story of California’s 4 Nisei Veterans before, during and after WWII, An American Story teaches the broader history of the Relocation and anti-Asian discrimination. The DVD grew out of research supported by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program.

An American Story premiered at the 59th Nisei VFW Reunion in Orange County in February. High school teachers have encouraged Tom to get the DVD into California’s classrooms. In the meantime, he is screening the DVD for veterans’ groups.

An American Story is available for only $10 per DVD, plus $3 shipping (regardless of quantity) to each address. This DVD comes with a unique guide designed to encourage conversations between grandparents and grandchildren. Please send your check to Tom Graves, 400 Clipper St., San Francisco, CA 94114-3623. The price includes sales tax for California residents. Please direct questions to tom@tomgraves.com, 415-550-7241.

Don’t delay. This DVD needs to be seen by every Nikkei and by everyone who loves this country.
