EP 64: Japanese Detention Camps

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Japanese Detention Camps, camps that were established here in the United States during World War II following the attack of Pearl Harbor. Under President Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, it became policy for the U.S. Government to place HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Japanese in detention camps here on American soil. Of the more than 120,000 people placed in these detention camps, more than 60% of them were American citizens. It was said that someone with as little as 1/16th Japanese lineage could be placed in a detention camp.
