| Summary: | Spokane Timeline: Personal Voices. Japanese-American objects and materials focused on Spokane families and experience during and after World War II. Personal Voices exhibit highlights 120 years of Japanese regional history and culture. Japanese immigrants arrived in Spokane in the 1880s, and established restaurants, laundries, hotels, and stores in Hillyard and downtown's Trent Alley. Although these immigrants could not become American citizens until after 1952 legislation, they raised their American-born children in a world that incorporated both cultures. During World War II, the community experienced significant upheaval with the evacuation and internment program prompted by the attack on Pearl Harbor.
