Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, that resulted in the unconstitutional incarceration of American citizens of Japanese descent into so-called “Internment Camps.”  One of those camps was here in Colorado at Amache, near Granada.  Los Angeles native LILY HAVEY was one of those American citizens who were interned at desolate Amache where she and her family lived in a 20 x 40 foot room in a barracks shared by five other families in a complex guarded by armed U.S. soldiers.=0D=0A==0D=0A=Renowned artist LILY HAVEY will show slides of her own drawings depicting life at Amache as she discusses her childhood memories of the internment camp.=0D=0A==0D=0A=Lily Yuriko Nakai Havey was born in Los Angeles.  In 1942 her family was relocated first to the Santa Anita Assembly Center, then to the government internment camp at Amache, Colorado.  For four years they lived in a 20 x 40 foot room in a barracks heated by a potbellied stove and shared a public latrine.  Lily expresses her experience through watercolors, an ongoing project.  She graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and has a Fine Arts degree from the University of Utah.  She taught 13 years in high school and left in 1971 to pursue stained glass interests which became a part-time business.  Her glass work is divided into gallery work and commissions.  She began experimenting in watercolors in 1985.  Her paintings are divided between her WWII recollections and contemporary Japanese scenes.  She resides in Salt Lake City and works out of a studio in her home.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
