Welcome back to Hometown History. In this episode, we delve into one of America's most troubling chapters: the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were uprooted from their lives and forced into internment camps under Executive Order 9066. We explore the origins of this paranoia, the harsh realities faced in these camps, and the lasting impact on the Japanese American community. We'll also discuss pivotal legal battles, such as the Korematsu case, and the eventual acknowledgment of this injustice with the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. Join me as we uncover the stories of resilience and the lessons we must carry forward from this dark period in history.
