Frank Abe has long pursued the development of an authentic Japanese American history. He did street theater for the very first Day of Remembrance in 1978, reenacting wartime removal and incarceration, campaigned for government redress and reparations in 1988, and later made a PBS film about camp resistance called “Conscience and the Constitution.” Frank wrote the first biography of novelist John Okada, a graphic novel on camp resistance called We Hereby Refuse, and edited an anthology of camp literature. At Mesa, he worked on adapting John Okada’s 1957 novel No-No Boy for the theater. You can learn more about Frank here.
