JACL Philadelphia
Site: https://phillyjacl.org/
The Japanese American Citizens League is a national organization whose mission is to secure and safeguard the civil and human rights of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans and all communities who are affected by injustice and bigotry. The leaders and members of the JACL also work to promote and preserve the heritage and legacy of the Japanese American Community. The Philadelphia Chapter of the JACL formed in 1947 and remains the main convener of the Japanese American community there.
In 2023, Densho partnered with the Philadelphia Chapter to host their oral histories and to digitize and make available the historical chapter records. This work was made possible through the generous support of the National Park Service Japanese American Confinement Sites program.
