Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Japanese American community. 81 years ago today, when I was just a boy of four, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, setting in motion the evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast and our long years of internment inside ten barbed wire prison camps.
We must never let such a thing happen again in America, and and we must strive everywhere to prevent the forced relocation and mass incarceration of innocent people. #NeverForget #NeverAgain
@georgetakei do you know about this memorial in Juneau, AK? There is also a strong legacy of Juneauites preserving Japanese-American businesses and giving them open ended loans when they returned, to help reestablish their businesses.
