March 23, 1942 - The U.S. government began moving all those of Japanese ancestry, including some native-born U.S. citizens (known as nisei), from their west coast homes to indefinite imprisonment in detention centers, beginning with Manzanar in California which eventually held more than 10,000 Americans.
Located on 60,000 acres west of Los Angeles, it is now a national historic site; only 3 of the original 800 buildings remain.

Bellevue College president David May: “This rededication is more than a rededication of a piece of art. It represents, for me, a rededication of the college to the values that we seek to live by.” It’s community conversation and dialogue seeking to create a discourse to confront the pale suppressing hand of white supremacy. Congratulations to the college, the community and the artist, Erin Shigaki.

February 19, 1942 - President Franklin D. Roosevelt, ten weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, issued a directive ordering all Japanese Americans (Nisei) evacuated from the West Coast of the U.S., and forcing them to live in concentration camps. Executive Order 9066 authorized the Secretary of War and military commanders “to prescribe military areas . . . from which any or all persons may be excluded.”
There was strong support from California Attorney General Earl Warren (later U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice), liberal journalist Walter Lippmann and Time magazine—which referred to California as "Japan's Sudetenland"
112,000 citizens of Japanese ancestry were relocated, losing their businesses, homes, and belongings to the white residents of their former neighborhoods.This day is referred to as the "Day of Remembrance.” It has been commemorated every year for 67 years to remind Americans of that miscarriage of justice, and to ensure such things do not happen again.

@ixi When we give into or allow xenophobia and hate we get Manzanar. I visited in 2021 and am still haunted by the whole experience. I simply could not shake the feeling of Evil that permeated that bleak place. The cemetery was particularly tough to witness In particular the marker for little Midori Furuya, Born in captivity August 12, 1943 and died in captivity August 14, 1943. #ExecutiveOrder9066 #WW2 #IncarcerationOfJapaneseAmericans #Manzanar

On 19 February 1942, by order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers" hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.
George Takei's childhood as one of the more than 120,000 mass incarcerated was memorialised in the graphic novel "They Called Us Enemy".

Remembrance for the Day the Cat Jumped.
And, as taught me by Dr. Ginger Wilson at Duke University when I was 13 years old: just as it’s necessary to remember the infamy of Dec. 7, 1941, so too must we remember the infamy of Executive Order 9066, which two months later authorized the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans — #Issei and #Nisei alike — from the West Coast of the United States to internment camps further inland.

"President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, in effect authorizing the incarceration of some 120,000 people of Japanese descent living on the West Coast, for 'protection against espionage and against sabotage.' Two-thirds of them were American citizens." And Hawaii. My grandparents were rounded up and taken to California. My dad was born inside the camp at Tule Lake. https://www.vogue.com/projects/13549104/japanese-incarceration-women-descendants-california/ #history #japaneseamericans #internment #executiveorder9066
