JANM to Host Claudia Kishi Club Reunion Online
Posted On
On Saturday, Jan. 23, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. PST, join the director and cast of the documentary “The Claudia Kishi Club” in a discussion of the legacy of Claudia Kishi, the iconic Japanese American character from the hit “Baby-Sitters Club” book series.
A TV series based on “The Baby-Sitters Club” premiered on Netflix last year and has been renewed for a second season. Momona Tamada plays Claudia. A “Baby-Sitters Club” series was produced by HBO in 1990 with Jeni F. Winslow as Claudia.
Asian American artists, writers, and creatives will discuss how Claudia inspired them, a generation of young readers of color, to create new stories of their own. Clips from the documentary short will be shown and discussed.
Series on ‘Black + Japanese American Reparations’

From the Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture at USC:

Please join us for “Black + Japanese American Reparations,” a special virtual events series and book club.
Many Black reparations advocates have pointed directly to the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 granting reparations to Japanese Americans interned during World War II as a precedent that can inform the case for restorative justice for African Americans. Indeed, as Ta-Nehisi Coates has argued, reparations is more than a recompense of past injustices, but a national reckoning “that would lead to spiritual renewal.”
The USC Ito Center series and book club is thus predicated on a serious examination of the deeper meaning of “reparations.” The reparations-themed book club, which meets every third Tuesday from January to July at 4 p.m. PST, kicks off with an “Introduction to Black + Japanese American Reparations Book Club” on Jan.
