9066 from Golden City by Miguel Zenón

*9066
In 1942, fresh from the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attacks during World War Two, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed and issued Executive Order 9066. This extremely controversial act authorized the incarceration of nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans, of which nearly two-thirds were U.S. Citizens, born and raised in the United States. Although the Order was suspended in 1944, the ripple effects from this traumatic experience are still very present within the Japanese American community in the Bay Area.
