An evening with actor George Takei
The Crow Collection is honored to present “An Evening with George Takei” Sunday, July 19. Lecture begins at 6 p.m. in the Horchow Auditorium at the Dallas Museum of Art with a reception to follow at the Crow Collection of Asian Art.
Long before he traveled the universe as Lt. Sulu on board the U.S.S. Enterprise, as a child George Takei was trapped behind the barb wire fences that surround the Japanese American Internment Camps during World War II.
Mr. Takei and his family were among the 120,000 U.S. residents of Japanese descent who were interned during the war. Mr. Takei, who was born in Los Angeles, spent most of his childhood at Camp Rower in the swamps of Arkansas and at the windswept Camp Tule Lake in northern California.
The actor will speak about his childhood experiences as well as his life as a Japanese American in the United States.
The lecture is being presented in conjunction with a special exhibition The Return of the Yellow Peril: A Survey of the Works by Roger Shimomura at the Crow Collection June 6-August 9, 2009.
