Imprisoned Without Trial: Japanese Incarceration in WWII

ID : 1407   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Anti-Asian violence: A modern-day occurrence? Not at all. Fear, hatred, and racism toward the Chinese and Japanese began in the mid-1800s culminating with the incarceration of over 125,000 Japanese at the beginning of WWII, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, just like you and me. From the perspective of a third-generation Japanese American (Sansei), we will discuss the how, when, and why racism landed Americans in what is more accurately described as prison camps, and what we can do to counter the effect of anti-Asian violence and racism in America today.
