A Long Road To Travel
Second generation Japanese American (Nisei) soldiers played a pivotal role in supporting the U.S. war effort during World War II. A Long Road to Travel focuses on the long trek that these soldiers traveled to serve their country, overcome prejudice at home, and achieve recognition for their heroism. Expanding on the Oregon Historical Society traveling exhibition What if Heroes Were Not Welcome Home, this exhibition will explore these important stories and encourage questioning of ourselves and others.

“Oregon is an inspiration. Whether you come to it, or are born to it, you become entranced by our state’s beauty, the opportunity she affords, and the independent spirit
of her citizens.”
Governor Tom McCall, 1973
OREGON VOICES examines some of the important people, events, and ideas that have shaped the state in the modern era, from the end of World War II to the present. It features the people of Oregon, from Native Americans, who have lived here since time immemorial, to recent arrivals. It looks at Oregonians who have fought for and against social change. And it explores the land—how people have used it and how they have worked to save it.
Oregon Voices traveling exhibition is provided by the Oregon Historical Society.
