Many elements of the Japanese American community came together to stop the insensitive sale of art created during the incarceration on @eBay. The latest @Pacific_Citizen tells more about how it all came together.
No matter what it’s called, a cage is still a cage. The Japanese American community knows this firsthand: The U.S. put out propaganda about WWII camps to show signs of “normal” life.

Donald Anthonyson tells us: Ankle bracelets are electronic shackles. If someone leaves the designated area, it announces that they are leaving "the master zone." It is constant surveillance.
Happening Now - Our NY Day of Remembrance Program is beginning a panel with Ninaj Raoul of Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees and Donald Anthonyson of @familiesfreedom.
On February 19 & 20, we will host our 2021 New York Day of Remembrance events to honor the survivors and descendants of WWII incarceration, and to bring our history to bear on present-day struggles for justice and liberation.
