Wyoming State Archives Speaker Series to Discuss Japanese American Incarceration and Heart Mountain

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Dec. 1, 2025 –  The Wyoming State Archives Speaker Series, in partnership with the Laramie County Library, presents author Eric L. Muller discussing his book Lawyer, Jailer, Ally, Foe on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.

 

During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly relocated over 110,000 Japanese Americans to incarceration camps, including Wyoming's Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Park County. At each camp, the government assigned white lawyers with a contradictory mandate: provide legal counsel to prisoners while keeping operations running smoothly.

 

In Lawyer, Jailer, Ally, Foe, Professor Muller examines how three of these lawyers—who believed they were helping prisoners—ultimately became complicit in perpetrating racial injustice. Through archival evidence and compelling narrative, Muller reveals how well-intentioned individuals contributed to a system that stripped people of freedom and dignity.

 

Muller is the Dan K. Moore Distinguished Professor of Law in Jurisprudence and Ethics at the University of North Carolina School of Law.

Attendance Options:

 

  • In Person: This event will be held in the Wyoming State Capitol Extension Auditorium, located underground and connecting the State Capitol and the Hershler Building. The physical address of the State Capitol is 200 W. 24th Street, Cheyenne, WY 82002. 
  • Virtual: Register at eventbrite.com/o/wyoming-state-archives-49902991693

Virtual and in-person attendees are encouraged to ask questions during the presentation. This event is free and open to the public.

The Wyoming State Archives Speaker Series hosts presentations on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m., offering both in-person and virtual attendance options. For the complete events calendar and upcoming topics, visit wyoarchives.wyo.gov/index.php/about-archives/events.

Wyoming State Parks Seeks Public Assistance Identifying Suspect in Incident at Guernsey State Park

GUERNSEY, Wyo. – Oct. 28, 2025 – Following extensive investigative efforts, the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, Division of State Parks’ Law Enforcement Rangers, in cooperation with the Platte County Sheriff’s Department, are seeking the public’s help identifying a male suspect connected to a felony assault that occurred at Guernsey State Park on the evening of Aug. 9, 2025.
 

Despite continued investigation and collaboration between agencies, efforts to identify the suspect have been inconclusive, prompting this public appeal for information.

 

The suspect is believed to have caused serious bodily injury to the victim during the incident. He was last seen as a passenger in a late-1990s Nissan pickup truck with an oversized slide-in camper, driven by another male. The vehicle is believed to have Wyoming registration beginning with “2T,” originating out of Laramie County.

 

“We’ve followed every lead to no avail and are now asking for the public’s assistance,” said Ranger Captain Corey Jacobsen. “Even a small piece of information could make a big difference in helping us identify this individual and bring closure to the victim.”

 

The investigation remains active, and our agencies continue to pursue all available leads.

 

Anyone with information is asked to contact:

Wyoming Arts Council Announces Fall Piatigorsky Tour 2025

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Sept. 18, 2025 – The Wyoming Arts Council, in partnership with the Piatigorsky Foundation, is pleased to announce the Fall 2025 statewide tour featuring violinist Linda Rosenthal and piano accompanist Steven Heyman. From Sept. 24-28, the duo will present a series of free public concerts and school outreach programs in communities across Wyoming.

 

The Piatigorsky Foundation is dedicated to making live classical music accessible to all, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Since its founding in 1990, the Foundation has brought music to more than 3,775 communities nationwide, engaging seniors, students, and general audiences alike. This tour is made possible by the generous support of the Muriel & Seymour Thickman Family Charitable Trust in Sheridan.

 

This fall tour offers residents across Wyoming an opportunity to experience world-class classical music in their hometowns. Performances will occur in museums, community centers, senior centers, colleges, and schools, reinforcing the Wyoming Arts Council’s commitment to community engagement and statewide access to the arts.

 

“Opportunities to experience live classical music are limited in many parts of Wyoming,” said Amara Fehring, community development and arts learning specialist with the Wyoming Arts Council. “The Piatigorsky Tour brings high-level performances directly into places like schools, senior centers, libraries, and museums, which makes classical music more accessible and ensures that cultural experiences aren’t limited to major cities.”
