"ONE OF THE MOST INSURGENT PIECES OF MUSIC YOU'LL EVER HEAR WHICH RE-EXAMINES AMERICANA WITH DEVASTATING EFFECT… AN ACT OF REVISIONIST SUBVERSION"
- NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
Bell School and the Bell Fine Arts Committee, along with Facing History & Ourselves, are honored to host Folkways recording artists No-No Boy for a special community performance.
No-No Boy is an indie-folk duo whose music is based on their doctoral research on Asian-American stories of Japanese World War II incarceration and the immigration of refugees from Vietnam. Their multimedia concert is musically moving, rich in content, entertaining and inspiring.
This event is free and open to the friends of the Bell & Facing History community. This show is suggested for adults, middle school and high school ages.
This show complements Facing History and Ourselves' All Community Read of George Takei's, "They Called Us Enemy," about his family's experiences living in a Japanese Incarceration camp in WWII.
