The forced evacuation from their West Coast homes and incarceration in American concentration camps of 120,000 Japanese Americans and immigrants from Japan during World War II is a story that has not been well known. This happened at a time when the Constitution did not protect innocent persons who had done no wrong but were imprisoned for no reason other than their ethnic heritage. The majority were American citizens. The evacuation and incarceration were found to have been caused by racial prejudice, war hysteria, and a lack of competent political leadership.

Autorenporträt
Floyd Mori has been the National Executive Director/CEO of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), the nation's oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization. He was also Director of Public Policy for the JACL and was National President. He was previously an educator who has taught economics to college students and has been a California State assemblyman, a mayor, and a businessman. He has spoken many times about Japanese Americans and the Asian American experience. Although he was a young child during the period of World War II, his family lived in Utah, so he was not among those incarcerated. Nevertheless, Floyd has talked with many people who went through the experience and has done research on the subject. This work includes speeches presented and articles written while Floyd was representing the JACL. This is an attempt to tell some of the Japanese American story in order to make people aware of this travesty of justice so that it will never happen again to any other people in the United States of America.
