Day of Remembrance
The 77th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 marks the beginnings of forced expulsion and mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. Learn about this history at a time of increased racism, profiling and attacks on immigrant communities.

This year's Day of Remembrance is the 17th annual campus commemoration of this event. Join us for a program featuring
  • Nancy Ukai, project director of "50 Objects," show casing faded objects that reveal personal stories of Americans in concentration camps
  • Panel discussion on the Japanese American experience and its lessons in the fight today against attacks on Muslim Americans and immigrants

This program is sponsored by the California History Center's Audrey Edna Butcher Civil Liberties Education Initiative.
