Program Description

Event Details

Discover the dedication, hardships, and sacrifices of the Nisei Soldiers who served in the U.S. Army during World War II—even as many of their families were held in War Relocation Authority confinement camps. This program invites participants to explore Executive Order 9066, its profound impact on Japanese Americans on the West Coast, and how military service became a powerful path toward advancing civil rights. For adults. Space is limited. Registration required.

This program is presented via a videoconference by the National Museum of the U.S. Army.
