Mainland Americans huddled around their radios listening to the events unfold, while Hawaiians watched the Japanese Imperial Air Force drop bombs over their home. The United States was at war. Young men nationwide, including Lawson Sakai, a Japanese American college student in California, rushed to join the Armed Forces. On December 8, 1941 Lawson and three friends traveled to the nearest recruiting station to commit themselves to the United States Navy. Though his friends were accepted immediately, Sakai was delayed and eventually denied. “They told me I was an enemy alien!,” he remembered years later. 1 The recruiting officer’s reaction to Sakai’s attempted enlistment foreshadowed the intense racial discrimination that he and thousands of other Japanese Americans would face in the coming months. The Nisei, second-generation Japanese American citizens, viewed themselves as distinctly American. They had no connection to the imperial enemies who bombed their homeland and were determined to support the United States.

  • Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp - the New York Times
    11/24/2019 Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp - The New York Times Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp About 115,000 Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were incarcerated after Pearl Harbor, and Lazo, who was Mexican-American, joined them in a bold act of solidarity. July 3, 2019 Overlooked is a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times. By Veronica Majerol When Ralph Lazo saw his Japanese-American friends being forced from their homes and into internment camps during World War II, he did something unexpected: He went with them. In the spring of 1942, Lazo, a 17-year-old high school student in Los Angeles, boarded a train and headed to the Manzanar Relocation Center, one of 10 internment camps authorized to house Japanese-Americans under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order in the wake of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor a few months earlier. The camps, tucked in barren regions of the United States, would incarcerate around 115,000 people living in the West from 1942 to 1946 — two-thirds of them United States citizens. Unlike the other inmates, Lazo did not have to be there. A Mexican-American, he was the only known person to pretend to be Japanese so he could be willingly interned. What compelled Lazo to give up his freedom for two and a half years — sleeping in tar-paper-covered barracks, using open latrines and showers and waiting on long lines for meals in mess halls, on grounds surrounded by barbed-wire fencing and watched by guards in towers? He wanted to be with his friends.

    64 Life Interrupted: Curriculum Units for Secondary Social Studies Lesson 3: Individuals Making a Difference Resource Card Name: Yuri Kochiyama Lifespan: 1922 - Home: San Pedro, California, New York, New York. Gift of Yuri Kochiyama, Japanese American National Museum (99.1.3) WHAT CHALLENGES DID THIS PERSON FACE? Yuri Kochiyama and her family’s lives were forever altered after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Kochiyama’s father was picked up shortly after the bombing and imprisoned at a federal penitentiary for approximately 45 days. He was released back to the family and died 12 hours after his release. She remembers, …Never had a war come so close to this country and then eventually, of course, as it became a world war it affected the whole world. Until that time, I was just living a comfortable life, actually a middle class life in San Pedro. I wasn’t even aware of the terrible situation for Jews in Europe…By 1941, I had just finished junior college – two years. And as I said, I was not political and I was not socially aware. So it was like an abrupt kind of change when…President Roosevelt declared that all Japanese would have to be evacuated. It certainly changed our life. HOW DID SHE HANDLE THESE CHALLENGES? When her husband, Bill, went off to fight in the war with the highly decorated 442nd Regi- mental Combat Team, Kochiyama wrote to him three times a day for twenty-two months. He would receive so many letters that at times he would bury the letters in the trenches.

  • The Everyday Heroes of World War II: Ordinary People Who Did Extraordinary Things
    The Everyday Heroes of World War II: Ordinary People Who Did Extraordinary Things Dr. Lynn Chun Ink Go For Broke National Education Center 2015 1 I could have done no different. I would not have known how. --Elizabeth Humbargar, on helping Japanese Americans during the war years, The Stockton Record, 1978 2 Introduction The history of the Japanese community in the US during World War II is often retold against the backdrop of the battlefields of Europe and Asia, where Nisei soldiers fought fiercely to prove their loyalty as Americans, or from within the confines of the incarceration centers, where Nikkei families struggled to lead a life of normalcy after being forcibly removed from their West Coast homes. Yet not only are the Nikkei wartime experiences as varied and multifaceted as the thousands of people who endured them, but they also involved many other individuals who were not of Japanese descent, people who, like schoolteacher Elizabeth Humbargar, could do “no different” but join in the struggle. The Japanese community as a whole rallied together in support of one other. But there were also countless individuals outside of this tightly knit community who either on their own or within a group sought fair and just treatment for the Nikkei. They were everyday people—from ministers to teachers to farmers to teenagers—who often endured condemnation from others who viewed those of Japanese descent through eyes clouded by hatred, fear and suspicion. They were ordinary people who took extraordinary measures for people they viewed as their equals and more significantly, as their friends.

It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.
