American history isn’t always flattering. Whether slavery, genocide against Native Americans, civil rights abuses, and even the insurrection of the capital in 2021 by people seeking to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, few events are more contra-American and shameful than the events of February 19, 1942.
President Franklin D Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on this day, ordering the internment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps on US soil. Of the over 110,000 Japanese Americans held during WWII, two-thirds were American citizens, and their only crime was being of Japanese ancestry. In addition to losing their freedom, they lost their homes, businesses, and communities and wouldn’t be released until January 2, 1945.
Internment Day marks this wretched anniversary.
