2022 marks the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 initiating the World War II incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans on what turned out to be falsified claims of group disloyalty. This mass racial treatment, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1944 Korematsu decision legally validating it, remain startlingly significant today. What will happen when those detained, harassed or discriminated against in the name of national security turn to the courts for legal protection?
How will the U.S. courts respond to the need both to promote security and to protect fundamental democratic liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights?
Professor Yamamoto is nationally and internationally recognized for his legal work and scholarship on civil
procedure as well as national security and civil liberties, civil and human rights and social justice, with an emphasis on reconciliation initiatives and reparations for historic injustice. His presentation will be informed by his recent book, In the Shadow of Korematsu: Democratic Liberties and National Security.

Five ways to boost your iron level before giving blood
Giving blood saves lives, but you must have a healthy amount of iron in your blood before you can help someone else by becoming a donor. Below are some ways to help you boost your iron level before giving blood:

Eat a well-balanced diet every day.
Iron-rich foods include lean red meat, chicken and seafood; garbanzo, kidney and soy beans; fortified cereals, bagels and lentils; leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale; and nuts and seeds.
Citrus fruits and juices and other foods high in vitamin C help your body absorb iron.
Coffee and tea reduce the amount of iron absorption and should be avoided during meals.
Donating blood reduces iron stores in your body, so it’s important to replace the iron lost between donations to maintain good health.

Note: Iron can be harmful in high doses. Supplements should be taken only as directed.
If you have any questions, please call (310) 423-5346

The Pandemic Twitch: Programming, Performing, Participating & Pirate T.V.
2022-03-15 - 2022-05-10
Cypress College Art Gallery is pleased to announce a new online exhibition, The Pandemic Twitch: Programming, Performing, Participating & Pirate T.V., curated by Professor Michael Hanson.
MARCH 15 – MAY 10, 2022
CURATED BY MICHAEL HANSON
WITH ESSAYS BY BADLY LICKED BEAR, MATTHEW HAWKINS, & MICHAEL HANSON
When COVID-19 forced human interaction on-line in March 2020, savvy culture-producers jumped into live-streaming platform Twitch. A popular pre-pandemic home for video-gamers and the people who like to watch them play, Twitch became a pandemic go-to for artists and others to meet their audiences in real time. More than a neutral venue though, Twitch and its chat streams quickly became a dynamic component of the works presented.
Curated by artist Michael Hanson, Pandemic Twitch: Programming, Performing, Participating, and Pirate TV presents projects that have bubbled on Twitch ever since the first lockdown. With the need for social interaction as their pressure cooker context, the “live” communal experiences re-invent appointment T.V. as participatory art; collage the outrageously mundane into dazzling, fragmented futures; and offer a lockdown lifesaver of roiling, rollicking fun.
