May 1st “Uprooted” - This first film of the series focuses on the immigration of Japanese people to the United States and why they came. How they integrated into American society and what was the cause that escalated prejudice against them? How did they work to be an asset to the United States? What was it like being a Japanese American and what personal consequences did they experience after the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941?

May 8th “The Incarceration of Japanese Americans” - Japanese American families living on the west coast of the U.S. were systematically rounded up and incarcerated in make shift camps throughout 7 states. Most lived their lives out of fear for their children’s safety and did whatever was necessary to maintain their families well being. Some did not.

May 15 “Go For Broke” - Many struggled with the decision to enlist, or not to enlist in military service while their families were being held prisoners. The war was escalating and decisions had to be made. Unquestionable loyalty to the U.S. was demonstrated by the Japanese in Hawaii, the 100th Battalion, which led the way to the beginning of the 442nd Regimental Combat team!

May 22 “The Return Home” - When the camps closed, the bittersweet return of Japanese American families was full of fear and anxiety. Wanting to return home but fearful of the malicious hate they knew they would face… would they be able to find work,… would they be able to trust that the police and firemen would help if they were in need?

May 29th “People Who Helped” - Who were the ones that stood up for Japanese American families while the majority of others tried to undermine their dignity? Where did these humanitarians come from? Organizations? Teachers? Neighbors? Friends?

June 5th “Racism and Redress” - The Civil Rights movement in the 1960’s provided the impetus for Japanese Americans seeking redress, and an apology for the incarceration.

The work that guided the Civil Liberties Act into becoming law was initiated by the Japanese Americans Citizens League at their convention in 1978. Oddly enough, the JACL was first organized in 1929 by a group of young Japanese Americans for the purpose of protecting Civil Rights. At that time in 1929, the JACL members were fearful of what was going to happen to them, because the country was enduring the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression and was headed for the environmental and economic impact of the Dust Bowl…the seeming collapse of society!

In 1988, when the Civil Liberties Act was signed by President Regan, the President lamented to the audience, ‘the Japanese American Incarceration was a mistake!’ The 10 years of work it took to bring the Civil Liberties Act to the fore, restoring a sense of justice, honor and dignity to our country, was done by ordinary men and women, the backbone of our country!

June 12 “Could This Happen Again?” - When our country’s Constitution was created, the framers challenge was for the citizens to continue the work of the Constitution by moving it toward a more just and perfect union. Based on the their ideals, the final program in the series focuses on three main areas. #1. The cause of the Incarceration of Japanese Americans, named by a federal commission, was racism, war hysteria, known today as the politics of fear, and the failure of political leadership. #2 Addresses how the public was immersed in prejudice through movies, books, schools, universities, national organizations, family bias and fear. #3 Calls us back to the Constitution’s challenge by looking at how each of us might be failing the promise of the Constitution for ourselves and others. Our first president, George Washington, urged the citizens of our fledgling democracy to grow in awareness, social consciousness, civic responsibility, and personal involvement! Our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln warned us of the consequences of misusing power in government!

Oddly enough, the JACL was first organized in 1929 by a group of young Japanese Americans for the purpose of protecting Civil Rights. At that time in 1929, the JACL members were fearful of what was going to happen to them, because the country was enduring the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression and was headed for the environmental and economic impact of the Dust Bowl…the seeming collapse of society!

In 1988, when the Civil Liberties Act was signed by President Regan, the President lamented to the audience, ‘the Japanese American Incarceration was a mistake!’ The 10 years of work it took to bring the Civil Liberties Act to the fore, restoring a sense of justice, honor and dignity to our country, was done by ordinary men and women, the backbone of our country!

June 12 “Could This Happen Again?” - When our country’s Constitution was created, the framers challenge was for the citizens to continue the work of the Constitution by moving it toward a more just and perfect union. Based on the their ideals, the final program in the series focuses on three main areas. #1. The cause of the Incarceration of Japanese Americans, named by a federal commission, was racism, war hysteria, known today as the politics of fear, and the failure of political leadership. #2 Addresses how the public was immersed in prejudice through movies, books, schools, universities, national organizations, family bias and fear. #3 Calls us back to the Constitution’s challenge by looking at how each of us might be failing the promise of the Constitution for ourselves and others. Our first president, George Washington, urged the citizens of our fledgling democracy to grow in awareness, social consciousness, civic responsibility, and personal involvement! Our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln warned us of the consequences of misusing power in government!
