On August 10, 1988, President Ronald Reagan issued a formal Presidential apology and symbolic payment of financial reparations to surviving Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II. The act was the first and only time that the US government publicly apologized for a mistake acknowledging that the forced removal and unconstitutional incarceration was caused by a failure of political leadership, wartime hysteria, and racism. Leading up to this, in 1981, the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) heard the testimonies of Japanese Americans across the country who spoke out for the first time about this incarceration during World War II. Recognizing the historic nature of these hearings, Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress (NCRR, then known as the National Coalition for Redress/ Reparations) and Visual Communications collaborated to videotape the Los Angeles hearings. #Reparations #ReparationsNow #CivilRights #HistoryTok created by Japanese American Nat’l Museum with Japanese American Nat’l Museum's original sound

JANM's permanent collection features Stanley's 96-page diary, which he kept from 1941 to 1944. He explores a range of youthful thoughts and dreams—from becoming an artist-writer, longing for his San Gabriel, CA home, to the meaning of democracy. The diary includes his pen and ink drawings. The collection provides a glimpse into a life that ended too soon. #HistoryTok #MuseumTok #JapaneseAmerican #442nd #USHistory created by Japanese American Nat’l Museum with Japanese American Nat’l Museum's original sound
