Topaz Stories reception: April 22, 2022

The Topaz Stories exhibit’s official opening reception at the Utah State Capitol felt celebratory and historic: 80 years after our families were incarcerated behind barbed wire 140 miles away in Topaz, we returned to share some of our family stories with the Salt Lake City public.

The venue was gorgeous, and the event was attended by about 240 people, including about 60 who had traveled from California and other states.
