Description
A photo of Kathy Masaoka, Sansei, speaking at a podium at an NCRR event at the Little Tokyo Towers. Behind her is a banner reading "National Coalition for Redress-Reparations [NCRR]. United for Justice. Japanese American Citizens League [JACL]."
The Janice Yen Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress Collection Digital Collection contains mostly photographs of events and activities sponsored by NCRR (National Coalition for Redress/Reparations, later Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress) as well as events and activities where NCRR members participated. Events include NCRR's annual Day of Remembrance, Nisei Week, Manzanar Pilgrimages, community meetings, and various political demonstrations. Also included are photographs from hearings before the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) in 1981 and other hearings related to obtaining redress and reparations for Japanese Americans. In addition to NCRR, photographs also showcase activities and events sponsored by LTPRO (Little Tokyo People's Rights Organization). NCRR emerged as a grassroots movement in 1980, fighting for redress and reparations for Nikkei (Japanese Americans) incarcerated during World War II. The non-profit organization worked to bring the community together to seek justice for the thousands of Nikkei deprived of their civil rights during World War II. The material in this collection was created and collected by Janice Yen, community activist, founding member of NCRR, and member of LTPRO. Contextual information regarding photograph subjects including individual names, locations, dates, and event names are largely provided by Janice Yen herself.
