"Remembrance" On The 75th Anniversary of Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066

On the day of the 75th anniversary of Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 which incarcerated 125,000 Japanese Americans, Peruvian Japanese and Japanese "Remembrance" meetings were held around the country. An anniversary event was also held in San Francisco at the Kabuki Theater in Japan Town. Thousands of Japanese Americans were ordered out of San Francisco and put in concentration camps. They lost their property and their lives were destroyed based on false evidence and propaganda that they had conspired with the Japanese government.
Participants warned that the growing racism and attacks on Muslims and immigrants is a dangerous sign that another such order could take place if people do not organize to defend democratic rights.
Additionally Peruvian Japanese were kidnapped from Peru to be used as prisoners in a prison exchange with the Japanese government. They have sued for justice and are still fighting in the courts.
