The scripts for each of the nine reenactments to date are made available here. Each case marks a different chapter in Asian American history, and each case had a significant impact on law and society – touching on themes such as race, discrimination, loyalty, human and civil rights, and the struggle for justice against bigotry, government persecution, and public opposition. Our scripts have been performed all across the country, and they are available for you to present in your community. We invite you to relive and to learn about parts of American history that have too often been overlooked, ignored, or forgotten. UPCOMING EVENTS Future reenactment performances will be listed here.
