March 28, 2014 President Barack
March 28, 2014 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write on behalf of the United States Commission on Civil Rights (hereafter “the Commission”) to request formal recognition and establishment by Congress of January 30th of every year henceforth as a permanent national holiday--National Fred Koremastu Day-- and that the President issue an Executive Order declaring January 30th the Fred Korematsu National Day of Service in recognition of Fred T. Korematsu’s contribution to upholding civil rights and liberties for all citizens in our country. Fred Korematsu is a civil rights champion who was thrust into our public consciousness in 1942, when at the age of 23 he refused to go to the United States’ internment camps established for Japanese Americans in the wake of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attacks.1 Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, authorized the Secretary of War and all supporting federal agencies to detain and relocate Americans of Japanese ancestry to internment camps in the interest of national security.2 Mr. Korematsu was arrested and convicted of going against the government’s orders.3 He subsequently appealed, and his case went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled against Mr. Korematsu.4 For the Commission, this is not merely a part of history, but is personal. Commissioner Michael Yaki’s father and his family were held in an internment camp during World War II. Mr. Korematsu’s case was overturned in 1983 after a pro-bono team of attorneys re- opened his case on the basis of government misconduct after discovering the government had hidden documents which consistently showed the federal government knew that Japanese Americans were not engaged in any acts of sabotage or any other act which could be construed as against the interests of the United States. -

Korematsu: Reflections on My Father’S Legacy
CARRYING ON KOREMATSU: REFLECTIONS ON MY FATHER’S LEGACY KAREN KOREMATSU† Five months before he passed away, my father, Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu, gave me a charge: continue his mission to educate the public and remind people of the dangers of history. At that time, I was running my commercial interior design firm. I was far from a public speaker, educator, and civil rights advocate. However, for the previous four years I had been traveling with my aging father as he spoke to audiences across the country. On numerous occasions, I heard him tell his story and witnessed how he shared his passion for promoting social justice and education. These reflections are a tribute to and a continuation of his efforts. I When I was a junior in high school, we studied World War II in my U.S. Government and History class. For one assignment, the teacher gave each of my classmates a different paperback book relating to the war. We were asked to read the book and deliver an oral report in front of the class. I don’t recall the name of the book that I was assigned. However, what I clearly remember is the book report my friend Maya—who is sansei, third- generation Japanese American like me—presented that day. Standing in front of the class, Maya announced the title of her book: Concentration Camps U.S.A. I wondered what that could be about, as I thought concentration camps only existed in Europe. To my surprise, she went on to describe a terrible time in history when, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States government forcibly removed 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry from their homes on the West Coast. -

The Day of Portugal and Portuguese Heritage, Social Exclusion, and Imagined Mobilities: Legacies of Racialized Migrant Industrial Labor in Contemporary New England
MIGUEL MONIZ The Day of Portugal and Portuguese Heritage, Social Exclusion, and Imagined Mobilities: Legacies of Racialized Migrant Industrial Labor in Contemporary New England ABSTRACT: Commemorations and monument dedications have been part of Portu- guese-speaking migrant place-making and as responses to social exclusion in New En- gland since these arrivals settled in and built industrial and agricultural worker com- munities beginning in the late nineteenth century. The racialization of migrant laborer identities imposed by discourse and law and supported by scientific studies relying upon genetic data, assisted politicians and elites during the second Industrial Revolu- tion to limit the civic and labor organization rights of workers. This study examines the complex history of Portuguese worker strategies to confront their civic, social, and ra- cial assimilability through civic associations that organized migrant participation in U.S. national celebrations (Fourth of July, Pilgrim ceremonies, war veterans’ memorials) and migrant community commemorations (including Portuguese heritage days and mon- ument dedications like Dighton Rock). Contemporary Day of Portugal celebrations and other heritage dedications that shape social participation in multi-cultural democracy are examined in light of the legacies of white nationalist strategies advocating for Por- tuguese social mobility. The study examines how some of the ritual elements of today’s celebrations yet promote discourses of racialized laborer hierarchies. KEYWORDS: monuments and commemorations, “black” and “white” Portuguese, asso- ciations and associativism RESUMO: Comemorações e dedicatórias de monumentos têm feito parte da construção de “place making” de migrantes lusófonas e como respostas à exclusão social na Nova Inglaterra desde que estes migrantes se estabeleceram em comunidades de trabalhado- res industriais e agrícolas a partir do final do século XIX. -
