Signed on February 19, 1942, Executive Order 9066 had massive consequences for the Japanese American community during World War II. It led to the unjust incarceration of almost 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens. The Day of Remembrance is an annual, nationwide tradition set on the anniversary of the Executive Order that commemorates this dark moment in US history to ensure that it does not happen again.
