Venue
The Japanese American National Museum
The mission of the Japanese American National Museum is to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience.
We share the story of Japanese Americans because we honor our nation’s diversity. We believe in the importance of remembering our history to better guard against the prejudice that threatens liberty and equality in a democratic society. We strive as a world-class museum to provide a voice for Japanese Americans and a forum that enables all people to explore their own heritage and culture.
Tateuchi Democracy Forum
The National Center for the Preservation of Democracy is housed in the former Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple, which served as the initial headquarters of the Japanese American National Museum. Built by Japanese immigrants in 1925, the building was the first Buddhist Temple constructed in Los Angeles. The ornate structure incorporates elements of a temple in Kyoto, mixing Japanese and Middle Eastern influences in its striking facade.
Architect Brenda Levin, FAIA, has designed the state-of-the-art Tateuchi Democracy Forum, added to the north end of the Historic Building. This new 200-seat auditorium serves as the centerpiece for the National Center's commitment to discourse, dialogue and community engagement and is equipped with communication technology for live television, radio, and Internet broadcasts.
The Tateuchi Democracy Forum will host the AAMF's weekend long events.
369 East First Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
