Thank you for signing our petition! Through your voice and your thoughtful comments, we can celebrate that the Japanese American National Museum has acquired the Eaton collection. Credit goes to the hard work of the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation, the worldwide community support, the consortium of institutions, and the ad hoc committee who have worked tirelessly on this issue over the recent months, and effectively used social media to pull the lots from the Rago auction block.In less than three weeks, the Facebook page generated nearly 7,000 likes, the Change.org petition gathered nearly 8,000 signatures, national and INTERNATIONAL news coverage, and those in the Twittersphere went global to #StopRago. Those individuals deserve credit with JANM and actor/activist George Takei for saving relics from our history for future generations. Ganbatte! ONE COMMUNITY, ONE VOICE! Thank you for your support!
