DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, February 19, 2023, the Nihonmachi Outreach Committee (NOC) will 
 present  the 43rd annual San Jose Day of Remembrance program in the San 
 Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin Annex, 632 North 5th Street, San Jose, from 
 5:30 pm–7:00 pm. This event commemorates Executive Order 9066, which led 
 to the World War II imprisonment of more than 120,000 people of Japanese 
 descent, two-thirds of whom were American citizens.\n\nThe theme of the 
 program is "Reparatory Justice: Together We Rise," bringing awareness to 
 the public about the Japanese American community's redress and reparations 
 movement and the importance of being in solidarity with other communities 
 in their struggles for justice and reparations today.\n\nNOC proudly 
 announces guest speaker Valentin Lopez, Chair of the Amah Mutsun Tribal 
 Band, one of three historic tribes that are recognized as Ohlone. Recently, 
 the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band has been involved in the fight to protect the 
 environmental health of the region, particularly Juristac, sacred lands 
 that have great historic significance to the Amah Mutsun.\n\nSumi Tanabe 
 and Susie Yasui, survivors of WWII incarceration, will speak about their 
 experiences in camp and how they were affected by incarceration in the 
 difficult years after returning from the camps. Long-time activist, Susan 
 Hayase, from the San Jose Nikkei Resisters, will describe how the theme of 
 the program resonates within the Japanese American community and other 
 communities.\n\nAlso featured are performances by San Jose Taiko and the 
 traditional candlelight procession through Japantown. The candle lighting 
 ceremony and procession through Japantown will honor those who were 
 incarcerated in the concentration camps.\n\nSeating is limited. This event 
 is free of charge but donations are welcome.\n
