They were first taken to a temporary assembly center in Tanforan, California and then relocated to the Topaz Incarceration Camp in Utah. After the war, Kitashima was on the front line fighting for redress. She became a well-known activist and a spokesperson for the NCRR. With her help, the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was passed which called for the formal apology of the American government to the Japanese Americans as well as compensation of $20,000 for every surviving internee.","extent":"43 objects pertaining to the Topaz Incarceration Camp, Japanese American Redress, the National Coalition for Redress and Reparations, and the Japanese American Citizens' League.","links_children":"ddr-janm-4","creators":[{"role":"author","namepart":"Kitashima, Tsuyako \"Sox\""}],"language":["eng","jpn"],"contributor":"Japanese American National Museum","public":"1","rights":"nocc","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Kitashima, Tsuyako \"Sox\" author","download_large":"ddr-janm-4-1-mezzanine-0545736268-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-pc-42-50","model":"entity","index":"17 17/{'value': 25, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-pc-42-50/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-pc-42-50/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-pc-42/ddr-pc-42-50-mezzanine-3d3e2b8c66-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-pc-42/ddr-pc-42-50-mezzanine-3d3e2b8c66-a.jpg"},"title":"Pacific Citizen, Vol. 71, No. 25 (December 18, 1970)","description":"Selected article titles: \"East Coast history of Japanese to be distinctive contribution\" (p. 1), \"National Constitution Japanese American Citizens League\" (p. 2), \"JACL chapter presidents\" (p. 4), \"JACL Bowling Tournament Champions\" (p. 7), \"The JACL Story: For Better Americans in a Greater America\" (p. 9), \"Heart Mountain WRA Camp residents sound off before a Dies Committee investigator\" (p. 13), \"Genesis of Pearl Harbor Attack\" (p. 25), \"Japan trip enhances need of Sansei to seek an Asian American identity\" (p. 37), \"Selected Bibliography Japanese in the United States\" (p. 49).\r\n\r\nThe holiday issue included advertisements bought by JACL members and chapters that included personal addresses and phone numbers to better foster communications between Japanese American communities.

Description about this volume reads directly from the book as follows: Section 1 contains archival documents from April 1942 about the growing opposition of western officials outside of the West Coast to having Japanese Americans moved to their localities. Section 2 contains the Federal government Surveys of Public Opinion dated January 1942 to August 1942 that thoroughly and unscientifically attempted to gauge public opinion, done by the federal Office of Government Reports. The surveys were also circulated among high government officials. Section 3 contains documents dated March 1942 to November 1944 that concerns the complex relationship between the Japanese American Citizens League and the Federal Government. The leadership of the Japanese American Citizens league, as the correspondence here shows, perceived that the political heads of the U.S. Army, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Assistant Secretary John J. McCloy and his uniformed staff, were likely targets of a \"how to win friends and influence people\" approach which even included small gifts. Perceptively, no such approach was made to General John L. DeWitt, Colonel Karl R. Bendetsen, or their subordinates. In recent years, there has been increasing criticism of what some have termed the \"over-enthusiastic collaboration\" between the JACL and the Army.","extent":"1 book: 8.75W x 11.25H","links_children":"ddr-densho-372-4","creators":[{"role":"Editor","namepart":"Daniels, Roger"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Japanese American Citizens League"},{"namepart":"Stimson, Henry L."},{"namepart":"McCloy, John J."},{"namepart":"De Witt, General John L."},{"namepart":"Bendetsen, Colonel Karl"}],"contributor":"Densho","geography":[{"term":"North and Central America","id":"332"},{"term":"United States","id":"1"}],"rights":"cc","genre":"book","creation":"c. 1989","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Daniels, Roger Editor Japanese American Citizens League \nStimson, Henry L. \nMcCloy, John J. \nDe Witt, General John L. \nBendetsen, Colonel Karl","download_large":"ddr-densho-372-4-mezzanine-919d5a653e-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-pc-39-52","model":"entity","index":"19 19/{'value': 25, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-pc-39-52/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-pc-39-52/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-pc-39/ddr-pc-39-52-mezzanine-377d683000-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-pc-39/ddr-pc-39-52-mezzanine-377d683000-a.jpg"},"title":"Pacific Citizen, Vol. 65, No. 25 (December 22-29, 1967)","description":"Selected article titles: \"Supreme Court and the Nisei: 'Equal Justice Under Law' nearer reality for Japanese Americans\" (p. 1), \"Individual choice in marriage not a concern for State\" (p. 1), \"Is Warren's legal philosophy of today a consequence of Evacuation?\" (p. 1), \"Takao Ozawa Case imbeds Issei to 'ineligible for citizenship' predicament\" (p. 1), \"'The Bill of Rights and the Military': Warren\" (p. 1), \"The Korematsu Case: ACLU's brief and the Supreme Court's decisions\" (p. 3), \"Evacuation ruled constitutional 6 to 3\" (p. 3), \"ACLU Brief: The Korematsu Case\" (p. 8), \"Terrace vs. Thompson: Common law prevails in early Washington alien land issue\" (p. 17), \"Gakuen era far from over--Hawaii once sought its demise\" (p. 23), \"The JACL Story: For Better Americans in a Greater America\" (p. 33), \"National Constitution Japanese American Citizens League\" (p. 53).\r\n\r\nThe holiday issue included advertisements bought by JACL members and chapters that included personal addresses and phone numbers to better foster communications between Japanese American communities.
