2012 Day of Remembrance will mark the 70th Anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066 which led to the unlawful forced removal of thousands of Americans of Japanese ancestry and the unconstitutional mass incarceration of 120,000 individuals in domestic concentration camps.

The 2012 Day of Remembrance program will explore the theme, “70 Years After E.O. 9066: Defending Our Civil Liberties”, with a commemorative ceremony, keynote speaker Robin Toma of the Los Angeles County Human Relations commission and a stage performance piece featuring voices from the Nikkei and Muslim American communities.
