DESCRIPTION:\nDo you know about the internment of Japanese in America durin
 g World War II? Perhaps you've heard about it\, but what about the detainm
 ent of Muslim Americans after 9/11? What about the internment of Japanese 
 Latin Americans? Why are these stories still relevant today?\n\nCome to Da
 y of Remembrance to find out!\n\nDay of Remembrance is an educational even
 t that remembers and honors the incarceration of 120\,00 Japanese American
 s during World War II\, and stresses the importance of unity and solidarit
 y among minority groups so that such injustices cannot happen again. Day o
 f Remembrances are traditionally held on February 19th to serve as a remin
 der of the signing of Executive Order 9066 in 1942\, which allowed for the
  incarceration of the Japanese Americans. The event is open to the general
  public and is especially designed for students of color and other minorit
 y groups to attend.\n\nThis year marks the 68th anniversary of the signing
  of Executive Order 9066\, as well as the 2nd annual collaboration between
  the&nbsp\;Nikkei Student Union&nbsp\;and the&nbsp\;Muslim Student Associa
 tion. This year's theme is "I am American." It seeks to explain why the st
 ory of the Japanese American incarceration is still relevant and important
  today\, not only for Japanese Americans\, but for all people. It stresses
  the significance of remembering this event\, as injustices are still occu
 rring today\, such as in the Japanese Latin American communities and the M
 uslim American communities. It also explains steps being taken to educate 
 the public and fight against injustice\, such as pilgrimages to sites of r
 elocation camps\, other Day of Remembrances\, and campaigns for redress.\n
