DESCRIPTION:<strong><span style="color: #c21313\;"> PAY WHAT YOU WISH </str
 ong>\n\nOn February 19\, 1942\, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Exe
 cutive Order 9066\, which led to the exclusion and incarceration of Japane
 se Americans during World War II. Families of Japanese ancestry were remov
 ed from the West Coast based solely on their nation of origin and veiled u
 nder the guise of national security. While behind barbed wire\, keeping th
 e family together and safe was of utmost importance to the incarcerees.\n\
 nToday\, also under the guise of national security\, migrants from Central
  America are similarly being held in detention centers. Young children hav
 e been torn from their parents as they sought safety and asylum in the Uni
 ted States. Just like Japanese immigrants before WWII\, these migrants dre
 am of a decent life for their family and safety for their children. The le
 gacy from the Japanese American redress movement is to make sure we stand 
 up and speak out when we witness people being treated inhumanely by our go
 vernment as we were during WWII.\n\nPlease join us for the 2019 Los Angele
 s Day of Remembrance as we honor and remember those who were incarcerated 
 during World War II and address our theme\, <em>Behind Barbed Wire: Keepin
 g Children Safe and Families Together</em>\, exploring the racist parallel
 s of past and present.\n\nAdmission to this event and the museum are both 
 pay-what-you-wish on this day. RSVPs for the Day of Remembrance program ar
 e strongly encouraged using the link below.\n\n<a href="https://9644p.blac
