SUMMARY : Declares February 19, 2010, as a Day of Remembrance in
order to increase public awareness of the events surrounding the
internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War
II. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed
Executive Order 9066, pursuant to which 120,000 Americans and
resident aliens of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated in
internment camps during World War II.
2)Although many of their family members were incarcerated,
thousands of Americans with Japanese ancestry volunteered for
military service and earned high honors and medals for their
bravery.
3)On August 10, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil
Liberties Act of 1988, which found that Executive Order 9066
was not justified by military necessity but rather caused by
prejudice and war hysteria; and, the Civil Liberties Act of
1988 also apologized and provided restitution to those
individuals of Japanese ancestry who were interned.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
