Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary Club held an inspiring evening of history, hope and kindness on February 18th when we welcomed
Janice Munemitsu as our featured guest.
Janice Munemitsu is the author of The Kindness of Color, a powerful family story set in Orange County. Through the lens of her Japanese American family and their Mexican American neighbors, Janice shares how acts of kindness—from friends and strangers alike—helped families endure and persevere through two forms of unjust racism.
At the heart of her story is her grandparents’ and father’s experience during World War II, including the Japanese American
incarceration and the fight for equal education. Their journey ultimately led to the landmark 1947 California court case Mendez et al. v. Westminster, which desegregated California public schools—paving the way for the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision years later.
Janice brought a unique blend of personal history, professional experience, and thoughtful reflection to her talk. We appreciate her sharing her inspiring family story rooted in Orange County history.
