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!
