Shirley Ann Higuchi, JD, Chair of the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation (HMWF), is the daughter of former incarcerees, Dr. William I. Higuchi and the late Setsuko Saito Higuchi. It was not until her mother was on her deathbed in 2005 that Shirley would inspire to take on her mother’s dream of “having something built there” and chronicle the story in her book, Setsuko’s Secret: Heart Mountain and the Legacy of the Japanese American Incarceration. This is the story of Shirley’s journey.
In addition to her work with Heart Mountain, Shirley currently leads the legal advocacy office of the American Psychological Association. Follow her on Twitter: @HiguchiJD See where to buy the book and how to join upcoming events at: setsukossecret.com
