Description
In this essay, Tachibana examines the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians thirty-nine years after President Roosevelt's issuance of Executive Order 9066, which forced people of Japanese descent--two-thirds of whom were American citizens to be incarcerated in America's "relocation" centers. Tachibana explains that the commission was supposed to "review the facts and circumstances surrounding the implementation of Executive Order 9066 and the impact it had on the 120,000 persons relocated and interned during World War II." She goes on to discuss certain untold stories and experiences of the camps including experiences of those considered to be "active agitators" by the War Relocation Authority officials. Collection of notes, articles, correspondence, photographs, and term papers collected by Yukio Mochizuki, a student at CSU Dominguez Hills, while researching Japanese American incarceration and Japanese Peruvian internment during World War II.
