Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that authorized the forced relocation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast to internment camps during WWII. More than 120,000 were relocated into 10 War Relocation Camps including men, women and children; two-thirds were American Citizens. New Mexico was home to four Department of Justice internment camps located in Lordsburg, Fort Stanton, Old Raton Ranch, and Santa Fe that incarcerated over 6,000 men of Japanese descent. At JACL NM we are committed to paying tribute to those interned and to continue to educate our community on this traumatic chapter of our history. We invite the community to come and share the afternoon together. Light refreshments will be provided. NMJACL - Instagram NMJACL - FB
