episode 15: Bessie Konishi

FOR September’s First Friday in Alamosa, the SLV Museum hosted Bessie Konishi to speak about the history of Japanese-Americans in the Valley. Konishi is not only a story teller but feels it is part of her responsibility as a citizen to keep history alive. Tune into episode 15 of the Creative Citizen: the Unexpected Artist to hear the recording of Bessie’s lecture at the San Luis Valley Museum on September 2nd 2022. 

*Note Bessie is soft-spoken and the recording efforts were challenging to capture through the speaker.
