The Journey: Japanese Americans, Racism, and Renewal by Sheila Hamanaka (Orchard Books, 1990).
The main character, Hamanaka, is deeply affected as she shares a piece of art she had created which reveals a story of her past. She shares a mural that shows the racism her family and other Japanese-Americans had experienced while being imprisoned in interment campes during World War II.
