79 years ago today, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, the document that allowed for the forced removal and mass incarceration of 120,000 persons of Japanese Ancestry during World War II. All these years later, the Japanese American community uses this date, February 19th, as Day of Remembrance, to honor that years of incarceration that the community suffered through. But it isn’t only a day for memories, but for action and to use the story of our community to help others. For this special episode, our host Matthew sits down with a few pasts guests to hear about their experiences with Day of Remembrance and a look ahead at what they think the day will bring for future generations to come.
