We’ll learn more about the forced evacuations of the people of St. Paul and St. George islands, and the history of the internment camp. The one-hour show has been organized in collaboration with the City Museum and will also outline the Funter Bay Project.
Tune in Monday night at 7:00 p.m. for “Mind Over Matter.” Dr. Elaine Schroeder and her guest Christina Love will discuss the impacts of historical trauma.
