Symposium on Japanese American Redress
I
f you're in or near Seattle tomorrow, you might consider dropping in on this symposium reflecting on the movement for Japanese American redress. It will explore questions such as these: "How did a grassroots movement of everyday working people lead to a formal apology and monetary reparations from the U.S. federal government for the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II? What are the movement’s historical lessons and lasting legacies on the ongoing struggle for social justice?"
Timely issues, important history, great speakers.

I am writing my thesis on the topic of Redress for Japanese Americans interned during WWII, especially pertaining to Seattle and would love any information that can be given.
