Description

An Oakland store owned by a Japanese American citizen hangs a sign his store window proclaiming his American citizenship and protesting the upcoming internment orders.

In a controversial action during World War 2, Japanese Americans on the west coast were ordered into detention centers. The federal government eventually determined these actions were not justified by military necessity and paid reparations to survivors and family members of those interned.
