DESCRIPTION:Nihonmachi Outreach Committee (NOC) presents:  2005 Day of Remembrance  
 “Democracy and Dissent”                   Sunday, Feb. 20, 2005   5:30 
 p.m.  ---------------------------  San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin  640 
 North 5th Street   San Jose  ----------------------------  The program 
 includes: Speakers,  Cultural Performances, Candlelight Procession and 
 Reception   In the days following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the FBI 
 rounded up thousands of Japanese immigrants who were detained without 
 charges.  Then, on February 19, 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed 
 Executive Order 9066, forcing 120,000 Japanese Americans into concentration 
 camps. The Commission on the Wartime Relocation and Incarceration of 
 Civilians concluded that the World War II concentration camps for Japanese 
 Americans were a result of “race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure 
 of political leadership.”  The 2005 Day of Remembrance will be the 25th 
 annual program to commemorate E.O. 9066.  In the past year a best-selling 
 book argued that the government was right to put Japanese Americans into 
 concentration camps and defended the arrests and detentions of Arab 
 Americans and American Muslims since September 11, 2001.  This makes it all 
 the more important that you join us on February 20th as we honor the memory 
 of the internees and renew our commitment to equality and justice for all 
 people.  The Nihonmachi Outreach Committee believes that Japanese 
 Americans, as recipients of redress, must continue to seek the just 
 treatment of all Americans.  ---------------------------  For more
