 uary 21\, 2006 at 7 pm\, the UC Berkeley Nikkei Student Union will hold it
 s annual Day of Remembrance event.   The Nikkei Student Union\, also known
  as NSU\, was founded four years ago as a student organization dedicated t
 o increasing awareness of Japanese American issues\, as well as promoting 
 dialogue between students of Japanese ancestry and those interested in Jap
 anese American culture. \n\nThe Day of Remembrance is an annual recognitio
 n of President Roosevelt's signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19\
 , 1942\, which authorized the unconstitutional internment of 120\,000 Japa
 nese Americans during World War II.  The event highlights the injustice im
 posed upon Japanese Americans as a result of racial discrimination. \n\nPl
 ease support our community and our JA heritage by making February 21st an 
 event for your children\, family\, and friends.  The event will be held at
  7 pm in the Heller Lounge (located in the MLK Student Union Building on t
 he UC Berkeley campus) and is free to the public.  Two short films will be
  shown\, both of which involve the themes of loyalty and friendship betwee
 n individuals from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.  "Stand Up F
 or Justice\," a film by Visual Communications and the Nikkei for Civil Rig
 hts and Redress\, is a true story revolving around a teenager named Ralph 
 Lazo\, who willfully accompanies his Japanese American friends to the Manz
 anar internment camp.  The other film\, "Stranded\," is a thought-provokin
 g production by USC graduate students.  Two Japanese American GI's are in 
 a dilemma as to what to do with a wounded German soldier they stumble acro
 ss during a battle in WWII.  The film depicts the human condition to which
  all ethnic groups can relate.          \n\nA speaker panel (consisting of
  the films' producers and educators) will be present to answer questions f
 rom the audience.  We will conclude the event with a reception.  Refreshme
 nts will be served.\n
