The Daniel K. Inouye National Center for the Preservation of Democracy (Democracy Center) explores the rights, freedoms, and fragility of democracy, helping to build bridges, and find common ground between people of diverse backgrounds and opinions.

A program of the Japanese American National Museum, the revitalized Democracy Center builds on the founding vision of U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye. It is a place for education and civic engagement to examine not only issues that seek to divide us, but also the shared values and beliefs that unite us with the goal of securing an enduring democracy for all.
