The Advisory Council for the Center includes leaders and advocates in support and advancement of the mission of the Center. The Council’s role is varied with appropriate emphasis on advisory, advocacy, advancement, and assistance in order to meet the mission of the Center through programming and the development of resources and opportunities.
The Council seeks to support and advance the dual mission of 1) showcasing the Miné Okubo Collection to provide an unequaled perspective on race, culture, politics and art in pre- and post-World War II America, and 2) contributing to an ongoing dialogue on civil liberties and social justice through dynamic, interactive exhibitions and related programing.
