During WWII, Kentaro Ikeda (Princeton’s only Japanese student in 1941) faced campus house arrest, frozen funds, and isolation as an "enemy alien."
Despite this, he graduated. Princeton dedicated the Ikeda Arch in 2022 to his legacy.
This exhibit was made possible with the archive collection from the Japanese American Association of New York and through the @magnificenth.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy platform. #PublicHistory #AsianAmericanHistory
