Day of Remembrance marks date of Executive Order 9066
The Asian American Studies Institute is sponsoring a Day of Remembrance to be held on Friday, February 19, to commemorate the date in 1942 when President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066. The order led to the mass removal and detention of about 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast during the next four years, ostensibly in the interest of national security. Speakers at the February 19 event will be Glenn Kumekawa, professor emeritus, University of Rhode Island, whose family was interned at Topaz, in Utah; Motoko Ikeda-Spiegel, a New York City artist, and her sister Tomoko Wheaton, also of New York City, whose family was interned at Heart Mountain in Wyoming. Kumekawa and Ikeda-Spiegel spent their high school years in internment camps. Wheaton, after two years in camp, came to UConn as one of 13 students allowed to enroll at the University in 1944. The event will take place at the Asian American Cultural Center, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
