Whether the events described take place in the United States or overseas\, whether the authors are civilians or veterans\, these lessons offer inspiration to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. These are the first-hand accounts of a generation unlike any other in American history. \nJoin us in a three-part workshop for first-time Nisei writers. Tell your stories as you would like them told. Tell them so that they are never forgotten. It is our intention to publish your edited works in the future. Location: NJAHS Peace Gallery\n \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW.

Two-thirds of them\, American citizens by birth\, and most of them long-term residents of the US. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor and under the guise of military necessity\, these civilians were rounded up and forcibly removed from their homes without due process and incarcerated in concentration camps for the duration of the war. There were no cases of espionage or sabotage committed by Japanese Americans on the continental US. It was found that there was no military necessity for their treatment\, instead\, there was falsification of evidence\, suppression of such evidence and fraud upon the Supreme Court. On the 75th Anniversary of the Order\, the Bay Area Day of Remembrance Consortium commemorates the fragility of the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution and unites with our most marginalized communities in these current times.

While the order never mentioned “Japanese” or Japanese Americans\,” it paved the way for the mass removal\, detention\, and eventually incarceration of 120\,000 persons of Japanese ancestry from west coast states. At the time\, two-thirds of them were American-born citizens\, who average age was 19. In addition\, some 11\,000 Germans  (including German Jews) and some 3\,000 Italians were also interned on a case- by-case basis. Subsequently\, as series of proclamations emanated from the Presidio of San Francisco\, including the infamous Instructions of  All Persons of Japanese Ancestry. The exhibits also include the rendition of Japanese Latin Americans to Dept of Justice Internment camps and the wartime removal of the Aleutian native people in Alaska .NJAHS presents these National Archive photographic images by  Dorothea Lange\, Clem Albers\, and others taken during this dark chapter in American history.

Since then the annual event has grown from a four-booth affair to a two-day event. The Nihonmachi Street Fair considers itself the original “melting pot” of street fairs\, with many aspects of Asian-Pacific American life—and San Francisco’s cultural life—expressed through performance\, tradition\, art\, music\, food\, and community outreach and service. \nThe Nihonmachi Street Fair proudly evolves to reflect the city it celebrates while staying true to its original mission:\nEngage and develop young Asian American leaders through the development of building community that celebrates our culture and diversity. \n  URL:https://www.njahs.org/events/nihonmachi-street-fair-2016/ LOCATION:Post Street between Laguna and Fillmore Streets\, San Francisco\, CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160805T030000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160805T093000 DTSTAMP:20260423T223509 CREATED:20151009T190851Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241107T222127Z UID:10000004-1470366000-1470389400@www.njahs.org SUMMARY:End Nikkei Community Internship DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.njahs.org/events/end-nikkei-community-internship/ LOCATION:Presidio Tunnel Tops –\, 210 Lincoln Boulevard\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94129\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160801 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160804 DTSTAMP:20260423T223509 CREATED:20160506T094601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241107T220527Z UID:10000076-1470070800-1470243599@www.njahs.org SUMMARY:Middle and High School Teachers Summer Institute DESCRIPTION:COURSE IS NOW CLOSED \nOur 2 day institute will introduce and/or reacquaint you with place based and inquiry based learning that meets Common Core and C3 Framework for Social Studies Standards. Our goal is to provide you with practical and useful ideas for implementing Social Studies education through learning activities and student generated research. This institute is framed by the compelling question\, “In want ways did place determine the fate of Japanese Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor?” to provoke students to pose meaningful questions\, apply critical thinking and build their own historical interpretations. \nUsing a regional perspective\, we dispel the current narrative of a single experience for Japanese Americans as we draw deeper conclusions and understanding of how and why this injustice took place. Case studies will compare pre and post war communities in Hawaii\, Seattle\, and California. This institute includes a visit to the Bainbridge Island Exclusion Memorial\, Wing Luke Museum\, and a walking tour of the International District. \n$250 professional development stipend upon completion of all seminar requirements.
