    With their Japanese language skills, they translated enemy battle plans and secret codes, tapped lines, and overall reduced the war by around two years. The Japanese Americans rightly showed that they could be true Americans and fight for America. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “The principle on which this country was founded and by which it has always been governed that Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart: Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or…

    First hand reports entail numerous sightings of Japanese Navy ships reconnoitering a multitude of areas close to high concentrated population of Japanese Americans. This may be purely coincidence, however, the American government decided to move the Japanese populations to secured camps for security. Furthermore, with confusion and fear of another attack, the American population turned their backs on those of Japanese descent and started to suspect them of such crimes, as a result the citizens antagonized their government until such actions were taken. Consequently, once the action the American citizens so desired had been carried out, it solidified their beliefs that the Japanese population were untrustworthy, because if the government took the effort and time to move the Japanese away, they must think the same as the American citizens. Not only solidifying beliefs, it began a cycle.…

    It could certainly be inferred that the carry-over from the working-class’ involvement with American politics led to this change in organisational structure, and the formation of the Committee for Industrial Organisation (CIO). Unions proved that the working-class had come a long way from the ethnic conflicts of earlier times. Aside from the legitimacy which the CIO was eventually granted, the union gave workers a new common ground with a culture of unity, and by 1939, the CIO had achieved a united industrial union with a rich, diverse makeup and better working conditions for…

    There was no evidence that Japanese-Americans were loyal to Japan, only evidence that they were loyal to the United States. Japanese Internment also violated the majority of the Sixth Amendment. Japanese-Americans should have been guaranteed: the right to a speedy and public trial, the right to be tried by an impartial jury, the right to be informed of the charged, the right to confront and call witnesses, and the right to an attorney by the Sixth Amendment. Japanese-Americans did not receive any of these right, and were immediately imprisoned. They did not get a trial because they wouldn’t have been found guilty of anything.…

    What if one day you had to move somewhere unfamiliar, was falsely accused of something you never did, and had to deal with race prejudice everyday?

    World War II is considered the most patriotic time in the history of the United States of America. Americans were able to prove themselves like they never had before. Most of the men across the continent signed up to be a part of the war, and the women helped with the jobs that those men left behind. Although this moment is a turning point in history, the greatest time to be an American, the Japanese American people could disagree. The treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II is constantly overlooked though.…

    In 1942 many Japanese Americans were faced with a problem that most Americans will never experience. They were ripped of their American lives and rights and placed in Internment camps. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that was put in place "to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine from which any or all persons may be excluded." () Because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the government believed that Japanese Americans were a threat to society. Although some may be a threat, imprisoning a whole group of people just based on race, was not the civil way of going about the issue.…

    The Caucasian and First Nations fishermen felt that the Japanese were being given too many fishing licenses, and successfully lobbied to reduce the percentage of Japanese who owned fishing licenses from 60 to 40 percent. Another major problem was that the two groups had different fishing unions. The Japanese had their Japanese Fishermen's Association while the Fishermen's' Union was primarily staffed by Caucasians. The Fishermen's' Union was more widespread, holding dominion in Vancouver and New Westminster in addition to being important in Steveston. They had differing policies, and things came to a head in 1900.…

    It is good to see that an increasing number of protests spread nationwide every year because people increasingly become aware of the necessity of speaking out. However, some people still keep silent when injustices happen. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua, a Chicana author, writes about the partial judgment on her accents when she speaks English, but she feels proud of her mother language, Chicano Spanish, because she realizes that her mother tongue is her distinctive identity. Also, she encourages her chicano friends to keep their identities. Likewise, in “To the Lady”, Mitsuye Yamada, a Japanese American poet and activist, writes to a lady in San Francisco and claims that the consequence of people not protesting when injustice…
