Duncan Ryuken Williams: When Buddhists Were A "National Security Threat"

Scholar and Soto Zen priest Duncan Ryuken Williams joins Tricycle Editor and Publisher James Shaheen to discuss how Japanese Americans interned during World War II stood up for religious freedom, how this part of our history has shaped American Buddhism today, and how this disturbing legacy of persecution has taken on new relevance. Williams is the author of the book American Sutra: A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War.
