“From Behind Barbed Wire to Washington: The Remarkable Friendship of Norman Mineta and Alan Simpson” was released this week by the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation.
The book is a graphic novel about the lives and public careers of Mineta and Simpson, who first met as Boy Scouts at the Heart Mountain incarceration site for Japanese Americans in 1943.
Authors Mineta and Simpson worked closely with Shirley Ann Higuchi, the chair of the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation, and Ray Locker, the foundation’s director of communications and strategy. Marie Okuma Johnston of Mercer Island, Washington, was the artist.
The book is the fifth published by the foundation. Its release accompanies the opening of the Mineta-Simpson Institute, which was created to promote the values of cooperation, empathy and bipartisanship displayed by Mineta and Simpson during their careers in public service.
Interested readers can find the book in the Heart Mountain store or online at shopheartmountain.org/products/from-behind-barbed-wire-to-washington?_pos=1&_sid=12595d5d0&_ss=r. It retails for $20.
