Talking Hawaiʻi's Story: Oral Histories of an Island People editors Michi Kodama-Nishimoto and Warren Nishimoto of UH Mānoa's Center for Oral History will speak at the Pohai Nani auditorium (45-090 Namoku Street, Kaneohe) on Tuesday, July 6, from 7 to 8 p.m.
 
The program will include book readings, presented by storyteller Nyla Fujii-Babb and UH Mānoa English professor Craig Howes, followed by a question-and-answer session.  Fujii-Babb will read Edith Anzai Yonenaka's narrative, "Recollections from the Windward Side," and Howes will read Alfred Preis' compelling chapter, "Interned: Experiences of an 'Enemy Alien.'"
 
The talk and reading is the third event in the Pohai Nani Retirement Community's Yamashita Lecture Series on Hawaiʻi.  The program is free and open to the public.  Books will be available for purchase from UH Press.
