The Densho Digital Repository exists today because of federal funding that is now at risk. The reality is that less than 1% of people who use Densho’s resources support us financially. Make a gift to Densho to support free, open access resources that keep Japanese American history alive!

The Chicago chapter of the JACL was established on April 15, 1945. It was the first JACL chapter in the Midwest following resettlment there by Japanese Americans during and after WWII. Since its inception, the Chicago Chapter has played a key role in the success of many of the JACL's national legislative efforts. These efforts include passing the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 which allowed for the naturalization of Issei and Redress movement including being a hearing location for the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians.
