Description
Report noting the effects of discrimination on the Japanese American population leading up to incarceration. The report notes the disadvantaged status of minority groups in the United States based on appearance and how this discrimination was acutely felt by Japanese Americans. Describes strife within families and generations regarding the discrimination and resulting issues.
The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II.
