Description
Sixty-eight years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, setting into motion the exclusion, removal, detainment and incarceration of over 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry during World War II.After World War II, Japanese Americans persevered in rebuilding Japantowns, struggled for redress, and helped to shape the nation's concept of democracy and constitutional rights. DOR is a time to cherish that history, hear untold stories, and reaffirm our commitment to unfinished redress issues and current civil liberties challenges in the post-9/11 period.
The program will include speakers, performances, candle lighting ceremony and an interfaith procession. The event is sponsored by the Bay Area DOR Consortium and funded in part by the San Francisco Japantown Foundation.
