On February 19, 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed

Executive Order 9066 that authorized the removal and incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast and parts of Hawai’i.

The impact of this government action has forever changed our community

and holds important lessons for today.
