Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans in World War II
This collection includes objects and
resources related to Japanese incarceration during World War II. Following the bombing
of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 through which tens of thousands of Americans of Japanese ancestry were moved into relocation centers. Additional resources can be found by visiting the National Museum of American History's online exhibitions at AmericanHistory.si.edu and History Explorer at HistoryExplorer.si.edu.
