Formed mainly to investigate matters surrounding the incarceration and to recommend appropriate remedies, the CWRIC had no power to correct grievances and was viewed as a \"copout\" by those fighting for more immediate redress. Still, hearings were conducted in 20 cities across the nation beginning in 1981, and in 1982 the CWRIC issued its report 'Personal Justice Denied.' It was an exhaustive work that combined the testimonies of former camp inmates given at the hearings and research conducted by a team led by Aiko Yoshinaga Herzig. Herzig and legal historian Peter Irons discovered declassified documents verifying that the government had withheld information showing that there was no military necessity in the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans. Ultimately, the CWRIC recommended, among other things, $20,000 individual compensation to those incarcerated and a formal government apology. This recommendation would be the basis for the many redress bills that were to follow.\r\nThe collection also includes a selection of written testimonies submitted to the Commission in 1981 for the Seattle, Washington, and Washington, D.C., hearings. Also included are selected written testimonies submitted for hearings on the Civil Liberties Act of 1983, H.R. 4110 and S. 2116.","extent":"353 documents","links_children":"ddr-densho-67","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","public":"1","rights":"pdm","status":"completed","search_hidden":"","download_large":"ddr-densho-67-1-mezzanine-669b4d2adf-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-pc-29-17","model":"entity","index":"20 5045/{'value': 5069, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-pc-29-17/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-pc-29-17/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-pc-29/ddr-pc-29-17-mezzanine-575913c0df-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-pc-29/ddr-pc-29-17-mezzanine-575913c0df-a.jpg"},"title":"Pacific Citizen, Vol. 44, No. 17 (April 26, 1957)","description":"Select article titles: \"'Red' smear over Hawaii statehood refuted by CL; anti-Nisei editorial in Oklahoma slammed by senator\" (p. 1); \"Anti-Japanese bigotry injected by Tulsa editorial fighting Hawaiian statehood\" (p. 1); \"House surveying Japanese Labor Program in Cal.\" (p. 1); \"1st Nisei 'reported killed' in Korea very healthy, re-enlists for 6 years\" (p. 1); \"Sponsors seek CL advice at CCDC meet on refugees joining U.S. armed forces\" (p. 1); \"Two top honors in music won by Pasadena piano virtuoso inside one week\" (p. 2); \"Illinois assembly acts on four civil rights legislation\" (p. 3); \"Chinese American Moves into Lily-white Area, Harrassed\" (p. 3); \"Nisei selected for summer tour of U.N.\" (p. 3); \"Livingston-Merced JACL slates 3 events to mark Yamato Colony founding in 1907\" (p. 3); \"Southwest L.A. community center idea materializes as three groups in parley\" (p. 4); \"Promise no punch to be spared at Sansei life panel\" (p. 5); \"14-year-old Margie Iwasaki of Canada competes in U.S. nat'l AAU swimfest\" (p. 6); Nisei bowls 300 twice in series for 858-but in practice\" (p. 6); \"House votes $220,000 requested for evacuation claims administrative costs\" (p. 8); \"Seattle Nisei named Washington's best high school student\" (p. 8).","extent":"11W x 17H","links_children":"ddr-pc-29-17","creators":[{"role":"publisher","namepart":"Japanese American Citizens League"}],"topics":[{"term":"Activism and involvement -- Civil rights","id":"234"},{"term":"Activism and involvement -- Politics -- Hawaiian statehood","id":"236"},{"term":"Activism and involvement -- Politics -- Political systems and ideologies","id":"448"},{"term":"Arts and literature -- Performing arts -- Music","id":"183"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- California","id":"271"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- California -- Los Angeles","id":"272"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- Hawai'i","id":"277"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- Washington -- Seattle","id":"293"},{"term":"Community activities -- Associations and organizations -- The Japanese American Citizens League","id":"20"},{"term":"Community activities -- Conventions and conferences","id":"299"},{"term":"Community activities -- Sports -- Bowling","id":"316"},{"term":"Community activities -- Sports -- Swimming","id":"328"},{"term":"Education -- Public schools","id":"32"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Chinese American identity","id":"455"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Sansei","id":"338"},{"term":"Japanese Canadians","id":"200"},{"term":"Race and racism -- Discrimination","id":"37"},{"term":"Redress and reparations -- Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) -- Lobbying and implementation of findings and recommendations","id":"115"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"periodical","location":"Los Angeles, California","creation":"04/26/1957","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Japanese American Citizens League publisher","download_large":"ddr-pc-29-17-mezzanine-575913c0df-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-sjacl-2-42","model":"entity","index":"21 5046/{'value': 5069, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-sjacl-2-42/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-sjacl-2-42/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-42-1-mezzanine-6448eb3b4e-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-42-1-mezzanine-6448eb3b4e-a.jpg"},"title":"The Kurose Family Interview","description":"Elaine Kim led a panel interview of Ruthann, Paul, and Mika Kurose.

In Tule, he renounced his U.S. citizenship in protest of the incarceration his treatment in camp, and the so-called \"loyalty questionnaire.\" Shortly thereafter he regretted his actions and attempted to rescind his decision. (It would be ten years before he would regain his citizenship.) After being released from Tule Lake in March 1946 he accepted a scholarship to College of the Ozarks, Arkansas, transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, and then served overseas in the U.S. Air Force Intelligence during the Korean War until his renunciation was discovered. After being dismissed from the air force he stayed in Japan, earning a master's and doctorate degree from Tokyo University. Published an autobiographical work in Japan entitled \"Nikkei hangyakuji,\" which was translated into English as \"Beyond Loyalty: The Story of a Kibei.\"(This interview was conducted at the 1998 Tule Lake Pilgrimage held at Klamath Falls, Oregon and at the site of Tule Lake incarceration camp in California. Given the limited time available during this event, the length and breadth of this interview are shorter than other Densho interviews.)","extent":"01:04:25","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-36","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":43,"namepart":"Minoru Kiyota"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Tracy Lai"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"Steve Hamada"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"nr_id":"88922/nr0089q5w","namepart":"Kiyota, Minoru"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Klamath Falls, Oregon","creation":"July 3, 1998","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Minoru Kiyota narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nTracy Lai interviewer \nSteve Hamada videographer Kiyota, Minoru 88922nr0089q5w","download_large":"denshovh-kminoru-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"1040","model":"narrator","index":"23 5048/{'value': 5069, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/1040/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/1040/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ddr-sjacl-2-42a_narr.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ddr-sjacl-2-42a_narr.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/1040/interviews/"},"display_name":"Ruthann Kurose","bio":"Elaine Kim led a panel interview of Ruthann, Paul, and Mika Kurose.
