- A Comic By:
- Samuel Kensek
- On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs Executive Order 9066, initiating a controversial World War II policy with lasting consequences for Japanese Americans. The document ordered the removal of resident enemy aliens from parts of the West vaguely identified as military areas.
- This was done because the government believed that Japanese immigrants were spying on the Americas during the Second World War.
- The Japanese were relocated to Barrack like housing, as seen here in Manzanar. In total there were 10 camps made.
- The camps were quickly built, they provided little space, privacy, or shelter from the elements...
- Executive Order 9066
- ...and on top of all that they could only take what little they could carry.
- Through all of this the Japanese tried their hardest to make it better by building a sense of community within the camps. They built schools, held talent shows, and even building their very own community parks.
- Each room would house one family, no matter the size. It would have a few cots and a coal burning stove
- Gerald Ford formally rescinded Executive Order 9066 on February 16, 1976. In 1988 Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act, which stated that a “grave injustice” had been done to Japanese American citizens and resident aliens during World War II.
- There would be way to many riots and protests.
- In our world today this would not be excepted at all.
- Mr. K
- It would never be excepted in the first place
