George Takei at the Arab American National Museum with the museum’s Deputy Director Devon Akmon and ACCESS Board President Wadad Abed. March 9, 2012.

Mr. Takei works closely with the Japanese American National Museum, an institution that continues to be one of the AANM’s biggest supporters. The AANM is currently hosting a travelling exhibit from the Japanese American National Museum, Fighting for Democracy: Who is the “We” in “We, the People”?
