Hidden Garden: A Japanese American Family’s offer of friendship honors culture and beauty in 20th Century Hayward.

You are invited to discuss ideas of home, belonging, and environment created in Hayward in the 20th Century. Each conversation will feature individuals who made history through sustained local action and community work. Their histories are exciting and unique yet remain little known. We can learn from these experiences and find inspiration to address present-day challenges.

We also want to inspire and guide Haywardians who have important stories to preserve for families and community. You can attend all three events, or any of your choosing.

Light refreshments will be served. This series is free to the public. Parking in city lots next to the library is free of charge. More information about the project is available at www.haywardhistory.org.

Presented by CSUEB Department of History in partnership with the Hayward Library and the Hayward Area Historical Society. This project was made possible with support form California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
