On this day in 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes on the West Coast.

On this #DayofRemembrance, hear the words of Ted Fujioka, who was 17 when he and his family were interned. Ted’s letters to his high school teacher were just found and published by the @latimes.

#DayofRemembrance

On February 19, 1942, US President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the United States imprisoning Americans of Japanese ancestry.

The Korematsu Institute shares their #DayOfRemembrance statement here: https://korematsuinstitute.org/day-of-remembrance/

On this day in 1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, relocating 120,000 Japanese Americans to concentration camps. On this #DayofRemembrance, I honor Nyogen Senzaki, one of the first #Zen #Buddhist teachers in America, who led meditation sessions at Heart Mountain camp.

81 years ago, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, and a huge human tragedy and land grab followed. Glad the current White House issued this statement today. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/02/19/statement-from-president-joseph-r-biden-jr-on-the-day-of-remembrance-of-japanese-american-incarceration/ #DayOfRemembrance

Today, February 19th, is a #DayofRemembrance for Japanese-American internment, marking the day in 1942 when FDR signed Executive Order 9066 ordering the internment of American citizens on the basis of their ancestry.

Important to say: It was wrong, a violation of our values.

Hateful rhetoric must stop. We weep about the lives lost at Club Q in needless hate violence against our community - again.

And, celebrate those who limited the loss by bravely taking him out from being able to continue with the atrocity.

I have no words, I am sobbing. Last night at least 23 LGBTQ people were shot at a gay nightclub preparing to host a #Transgender #DayOfRemembrance event as part of it's "Diva #Drag Show" in Denver. It only ended because other patrons stopped the attacker. It is the largest mass shooting if its kind since #PulseNightclub in 2016. My heart is shattered for our siblings in #Denver right now. #TDOR #TDoR22 #ClubQ

The same government that ordered the internment of Japanese Americans is the same government that turned away ships full of Jewish refugees fleeing genocide. That’s why the #DayofRemembrance matters. https://twitter.com/interior/status/1495057341242220545

Tomorrow is #DayofRemembrance, a day that changed my life. FDR signed Executive Order 9066 imprisoning my family and me because we resembled those who attacked Pearl Harbor. We must continue the fight for justice for all so that the sins of the past may never happen again.

Today is the day we call #DayofRemembrance, to commemorate the day 77 years ago that defined my life. On that day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which imprisoned my family and me simply because we looked like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor.
