it takes a lot of faith and perseverance to go through this path of loss and reclamation, and loss and reclamation, and loss and reclamation, and not give up. it seemed like the pieces of my life were completely irreconcilable. there were so many things i wanted to hold on to, and so many pieces of my existence that i wanted to give. there's a piece of art i made called, "training for the surface of the moon," it's a series of collages. i wanted to take every fragment of anything that was beautiful in my life and not forget it. and the act of sewing them together was a very literal way of trying to make things meet that didn't meet; the beauty in them and the pain in them. something about the possibility for wholeness and the reality of destruction, and that these coexist at the same time. and this feeling that there is something more transcendent, something that smacks of grace. and most of my work has a real tension in it between forms and images that remind me of the grace of existence, whether it's seeds that are sprouting or roots that are going into the ground, or light, or circl

as i have come to learn, it is the perseverance that keeps individuals going and keeps communities goingtion takes many different forms. some individuals take individual action by themselves. others form groups and take group action. but the common thread among all the action is to better the community, to right a wrong, to stop an injustice. and unfortunately, h.i.v. and aids needed action on all those fronts. we are joined here today by members of san francisco general hospital, 5-a, 5-b and 8 of. i was moved to see all of them in the circle. 20 years ago, 10 years into it, and over 10,000 lost in this community, some individuals decided to take action. they decided to not stay in the dark, but instead to forge a path toward the light. and they gathered in solidarity to merely plant the seeds of life in honor of those lives that were not with us any longer. and just like 30 years ago, we had no idea what was coming, so, too, the individuals that came into this space 20 years ago had no idea what they were going to create. because what has been created here is sustaining for all-time. a

california, the landscape is dotted with farmers that have stories of courage, dedication, and perseverance in the face of adversity. however, none have quite the history of the ikeda family, but to see how far they have come, you first have to see where they've been. in the early part of the 20th century, many of the hills above the arroyo grande area were farmed by japanese families, who planted a variety of crops each spring. together they banded together to form pove, the pismo oceano vegetable exchange, which was highly successful until world events hit this small coastal community in the 1940s. >> before the war, there was probably between 40 and 45 members of pismo oceano vegetable exchange. during the war, all the japanese families got shipped off to iernment camps further inland, mainly to utah and arizona, and during that time, there was an alien exclusion act in which aliens couldn't own land, so you either had to buy land through a child who was a citizen or have some other citizen buy the land you and leased it from them, and so not a lot of people owned land back then. >> the

the only answer to this is perseverence by government officials. we need to throw more resources at the effort to investigate these cases so they can be cleared and moved it there is no simple solution to addressing these dual imperatives. >> trudy rubin in our time left, do you have a solution? what would you like to see happen? >> there was a solution which the british, the pols, the dains and australians used, they airlifted their people out. we did it to iraqi opposition people in 1996. we airlifted 6,000 out to guam and did the security checks there. short of that, the only answer is a political decision from the top. because the security checks cannot be moved without a real push from the white house. back in 2007 candidate obama said one tragic outcome of this swar that the iraqis who stood with america are being targeted for assassination. and yet they cannot get in here. and he said that is not how we treat our friends, that is not how we are as americans. and my question is, and i went through this personally with my driver-- my question
