DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago\, the first Day of Remembrance Program was orga
 nized in Seattle. They called on the community to gather with this simple 
 yet powerful message: &ldquo\;Remember the concentration camps\; stand for
  redress with your family.&rdquo\;&nbsp\;The Day of Remembrance observes t
 he anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt&rsquo\;s signing of Exec
 utive Order 9066\, which paved the way for targeting Japanese Americans as
  threats to national security and gave the U.S. military the right to send
  anyone of Japanese ancestry\, including American citizens\, to concentrat
 ion camps.\n\nThis year\, the New York Day of Remembrance Committee revisi
 ts and reclaims that history. They invite everyone to join them for this y
 ear&rsquo\;s program not only to remember the concentration camps\, but al
 so to discuss our community&rsquo\;s role in standing up for human rights 
 in the current political moment.\n\nThe program this year will feature jou
 rnalist\, author\, and producer&nbsp\;<a href="http://resisters.com/" targ
 et="_blank">Frank Abe</a>\, who will speak about the first Day of Remembra
 nce in Seattle.\n\nThis event is <strong>free.</strong>&nbsp\;No registrat
 ion required.
