Manzanar Baseball Project

"In this place of sadness, injustice and pain,
we will do something joyful, righteous and healing. We will play baseball."

The Manzanar Baseball Project is a compelling sport-meets-art initiative spearheaded by Great Leap’s Associate Artistic Director, Dan Kwong, dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of wartime baseball in the Japanese American internment camp located in the high desert of California near Death Valley.

 Composed of two major components, the field restoration and a day of cultural celebration, the project aims to shed light on the profound significance of baseball as a symbol of resilience,  cultural identity and community spirit in the face of injustice.
