Civil Liberties in Times of Crisis: The Japanese American Incarceration

JACL is inviting seventy-two primarily social studies and history teachers at the middle and high school (5-12) levels to explore the historical significance and enduring legacy of the World War II Japanese American incarceration experience and the reparations movement. Participants will be staying in the historic Little Tokyo neighborhood in Los Angeles with the majority of programming being at our host institution, the Japanese American National Museum (JANM), with day trips to Santa Anita Park (a WWII temporary “assembly center”) and Manzanar National Historic Site (one of the ten permanent WWII “internment” camps).
