GENERATIONS SPEAK OUT: IMPACTS OF E.O. 9066 - The annual Day of Remembrance commemorates the signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which enabled the military to forcibly remove and incarcerate 120,000 Japanese American men, women and children. This devastating experience to the Issei and Nisei continues to impact our multigenerational community today.

This year's 72nd anniversary of DOR will feature stories reflecting the impacts of E.O. 9066 on various generations of Japanese Americans.
