Capturing the human dignity<\/h2>\n

The Go For Broke Spirit: Portraits of Legacy by Shane Sato<\/a><\/em> exhibition will be on display at Boise State University\u2019s Albertsons Library from Wednesday, Nov. 1 through Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024. The public is invited to an artist reception with Shane Sato on Thursday, Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. at the library.<\/p>\n

This exhibition of 25 photographs evolved from Shane Sato\u2019s social practice which centers the human dignity and individuality of service members from the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT), the 100th Battalion, and the Military Intelligence Service (MIS). Despite segregation, discrimination, and governmentally-forced incarceration, they chose to \u201cGo For Broke,\u201d the regiment\u2019s motto. The RCT became the most highly decorated regiment in U.S. military history for its role in extracting a Texas National Guard unit trapped by Nazi troops in 1944.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want people to remember what they did when they had everything against them. Hopefully, the next generation will be able to look at what these men did and talk about that,\u201d states Sato.<\/p>\n

Seeing into the past<\/h2>\n

Shane Sato is a photographer based in Los Angeles. In 1999, he started shooting black and white portraits of World War II veterans from the 442nd. The RCT was composed of American-born Japanese \u201cNisei\u201d (NEE-say), meaning second generation.<\/p>\n

Public reaction to Sato\u2019s work changed dramatically in 2007. He began to feature the veterans in their uniforms to help the audience \u201csee into the past.\u201d The men were now visually linked directly to their heroic past as soldiers. Sato then partnered with oral historian Robert Horsting<\/a> to create a two-book set, The Go For Broke Spirit<\/em>. This monumental collaboration added personal stories, anecdotes, and individual memories to each portrait. The work in its totality humanized these service members previously seen only as historical.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is a collaborative project between Boise State’s Veterans Services Center<\/a>, University Affairs, Albertsons Library, and community member COL (Ret) Tom Greco, US Army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
