San Jose DOR: ‘Unifying Our Communities’
Posted On
SAN JOSE The Nihonmachi Outreach Committee (NOC) will present the 41
st annual San Jose Day of Remembrance on Sunday, Feb. 14, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. PST online.
The theme of the virtual event is “Confronting Race in America: Unifying Our Communities.”
Day of Remembrance commemorates Executive Order 9066, which led to the World War II incarceration of more than 120,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were American citizens.
This year’s Day of Remembrance will address the erosion of civil liberties in wartime, what Japanese Americans had to endure during World War II, and what African Americans and other racial minorities face today. The event aims to bring different communities together in order to build trust, respect and understanding among all people and to renew the pledge to fight for equality, justice, and peace.
