DESCRIPTION:FRAGILE FREEDOMS\n75th Anniversary of Executive Order 9066\nSunday, 
 February 19, 2017\nProgram: 2 -4PM\nFollowed by a Candlelighting procession 
 to the JCCCNC\n\nAMC Kabuki 8 Theatres\n1881 Post Street\nSan Francisco, 
 Japantown\nOn February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 
 9066, setting into motion the wartime mass incarceration of 120,000 
 Japanese Americans from the west coast. Two-thirds of them, American 
 citizens by birth, and most of them long-term residents of the US. After 
 the bombing of Pearl Harbor and under the guise of military necessity, 
 these civilians were rounded up and forcibly removed from their homes 
 without due process and incarcerated in concentration camps for the 
 duration of the war. There were no cases of espionage or sabotage committed 
 by Japanese Americans on the continental US. It was found that there was no 
 military necessity for their treatment, instead, there was falsification of 
 evidence, suppression of such evidence and fraud upon the Supreme Court. On 
 the 75th Anniversary of the Order, the Bay Area Day of Remembrance 
 Consortium commemorates the fragility of the Bill of Rights and the US 
 Constitution and unites with our most marginalized communities in these 
 current times. \n\nScheduled Keynote Speaker: Attorney General of 
 California Xavier Becerra; Don Tamaki, coram nobis legal team, EO 9066 
 performance by Lenora Lee.  Funded in part by a grant from the San 
 Francisco Japantown Foundation, San Francisco Grants for the 
 Arts.\n\nSuggested Donation: $10.\n
