 2021: Confronting Race in America: Unifying Our Communities\n\nThe 41st San 
 Jose Day of Remembrance event commemorates the anniversary of the signing 
 of Executive Order 9066. The order, signed on February 19, 1942, led to the 
 forced removal and incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese descent 
 during World War II. Hundreds of people will gather together online not 
 only to remember that great civil liberties tragedy but also to reflect on 
 the rising tensions that are building within our communities today.\n\nThe 
 theme for 2021's virtual program is Confronting Race in America: Unifying 
 Our Communities.  Although many of our communities have been suffering from 
 the effects of racism for generations, people outside of these communities 
 are finally realizing that there are enormous disparities throughout our 
 society due to race. Many people have taken action to try to confront these 
 issues in the struggle for racial and social justice. \n\nSince one of the 
 driving forces behind the WWII Japanese American incarceration was 
 attributed to racial prejudice, many Japanese Americans are compelled to 
 join with other communities in their fight for social justice.\n\nRelated 
 to this theme, NOC is honored to have featured speaker Reverend Jethroe 
 Moore II, President of the San Jose NAACP.  NOC sat down for an hour-long 
 interview with Reverend Moore in January. In this segment -- which will not 
 be a part of our Day of Remembrance program -- Reverend Moore talks about 
 police accountability and the rise of hate groups.\n\nWatch a clip of Rev. 
 Moore here:

 Day of Remembrance Film Trailers\n\nThis trailer for the 2021 San Jose Day 
 of Remembrance spotlights student activism at San Francisco Bay Area 
 colleges in the 1960's and 1970's. The Tommie Smith and John Carlos 
 monument at San Jose State University serves as a backdrop. Decades before 
 Colin Kaepernick, these two Olympic medalists from SJSU took a stand for 
 civil rights.\n\nWATCH HERE:
