Day of Remembrance

Day of Remembrance (DOR) is the Japanese American community's annual commemoration of President Roosevelt's signing of Executive Order 9066 and the World War II exclusion and incarceration of Japanese Americans and Japanese Latin Americans. This year's observance is particularly noteworthy, as 2002 marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066. The National Museum, NCRR, the Pacific Southwest District JACL and local community organizations will join together to commemorate the event and consider how the past experiences of Japanese Americans can provide insight in the aftermath of the September 11 tragedies.
