San Diego apologizes, formally rescinds its World War II-era support for incarceration of Japanese Americans
The San Diego City Council rescinded Tuesday a resolution it had passed 80 years ago in support of the incarceration of Japanese Americans in prisoncamps during World War II.
Leaders of the local Japanese American community praised the council’s move, noting how people sent to the camps lost their property, their opportunities for education and their dignity. Opinion: My mom rarely talked about the racism she faced as a Japanese American during World War II. I will. “This isn’t simply a matter of looking backwards, but also hopefully recognizing how quickly political ploys can turn into real harm and how important it is that we take a stand against that,” he said.
