DESCRIPTION:The <a href="http://www.sjnoc.org">2016 San Jose Day of Remembr
 ance </a> commemorates  the signing of Executive Order 9066\, which led to
  the forced  incarceration of 120\,000 people of Japanese descent\, two-th
 irds of whom  were American citizens.\n\nThe theme of the 2016 event is <s
 trong>&ldquo\;Wartime Hysteria.&rdquo\;</strong> In the Civil Liberties Ac
 t of 1988\, the U.S government acknowledged that  &ldquo\;a great injustic
 e was done to both citizens and permanent resident  aliens of Japanese anc
 estry&rdquo\; and that the acts were &ldquo\;motivated largely  by racial 
 prejudice\, wartime hysteria\, and a failure of political  leadership.&rdq
 uo\; The 2016 Day of Remembrance theme warns against the rise of  wartime 
 hysteria\, as well as racial and religious discrimination\, in  today&rsqu
 o\;s politically volatile\, emotionally-charged environment as the  nation
  confronts the issues of war\, refugees\, and terrorism.\n\nA featured spe
 aker will be Jimi Yamaichi\, a prominent leader in the  San Jose Japantown
  community\, who will recount his memories of being  processed at the gymn
 asium and forcibly uprooted from his home during  those traumatic days of 
 1942.\n\nOther speakers include <strong>Congressman Mike Honda\,</strong> 
 who was incarcerated at the Amache internment camp\,&nbsp\; <a href="http:
 //www.jamsj.org">Japanese American Museum of San Jose</a> president and SJ
 SU alumnus\, <strong>Aggie Idemoto</strong> \, poet <strong>Ann Muto</stro
 ng> \, and other members from the community. The annual event will also in
 clude a performance by the internationally acclaimed\, <a href="http://www
 .taiko.org">San Jose Taiko</a> \,  and a special candlelight procession to
  Yoshihiro Uchida Hall\, the same  location where Japanese Americans were 
 processed before they were  forcibly removed from the San Jose area.\n\nTh
 e event will be held on February 14\, 2016\, from 5:30-7:30 p.m\, in  the 
 Morris Dailey Auditorium. A post-event reception will take place in  nearb
 y Uchida Hall.\n\nFor more information\, email info@sjnoc.org .\n Website:
