Japanese Restitution

Brenda, Karen, Alyssa & Jazlyn

What happened to Japanese who had been interned
by events of World War II?
What does the American Government need to do
to amend for the forced displacement of the
Japanese Americans?
Essential Question
President Roosevelt signed what is known as Executive Order 9066 ,
stating that all Americans with Japanese ancestry as well as Japanese
living in America, be relocated to internment camps.
There were 10 camps in total
The American government felt the Japanese-Americans shouldnt be
allowed to come back to their homes because they were a security threat.
In the year 1945 the Japanese-American were released from the
internment camps
Background Information
Before entering the internment camps the Japanese-
Americans were forced to sell their land, quit their jobs, and
give up most of their assets
Upon the arrival back to their homes, Japanese were already
starting to receive death threats and hate messages sprayed
painted on their property.
Background Information
After being released from
internment camps life for the
Japanese-Americans wasnt
easy.
The Problem:
Japanese-Americans were being
discriminated and hated
everywhere they went.
"World War II: Internment of Japanese Americans." The Atlantic. Atlantic Media Company, 21
Aug. 2011. Web. 15 May 2014.
Different organizations were
created against the Japanese.
These organizations used the
local newspaper and property
vandalism to make it clear the
Japanese were not wanted.

Organizations like the
Remember the Pearl Harbor
(RPHL)
and Japanese Exclusion league
(JEL)
were against the Japanese-
Americans from coming home.

Japanese Americans ARE Americans just like the rest of
us.
Most of the Japanese living in the United States are
citizens and should be treated like one.
Just because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor it doesnt mean
that Japan as a whole decided on that. And neither did
the Japanese in the U.S
Why is this important?
In order to compensate for the harm done to the Japanese, we decided to
create a government organization called Japanese-American Equal Right
(JAER) that will help Japanese fight for their freedom and get equal rights.
The JAER will help fight for Japanese rights by shutting down anti-Japanese
groups one by one to stop the discrimination from spreading. JAER is going to
educate and try to influence non Japanese-Americans citizens that Japanese-
Americans are citizens too; by talking on the news or promoting all the good
that Japanese citizens have done for the U.S. With the chance these
organizations may still continue in secret, we still urge that the United Nation
help with the funding and organizing this policy.
