California lawmakers are expected to approve a resolution Thursday offering a formal apology for the state’s role in the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II.
Democratic Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, who was born in Japan and is one the roughly 430,000 people of Japanese descent living in California, introduced the resolution.
"We like to talk a lot about how we lead the nation by example," he said. "Unfortunately, in this case, California led the racist anti-Japanese American movement."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's executive order No. 9066 establishing the camps was signed on Feb. 19, 1942, and 2/19 now is marked by Japanese Americans as a Day of Remembrance.
A congressional commission in 1983 concluded that the detentions were a result of "racial prejudice, war hysteria and failure of political leadership." Five years later, the U.S. government formally apologized and paid $20,000 in reparations to each victim.
Thursday’s resolution doesn't come with any compensation. It targets California’s role in aiding the U.S. government’s policy and condemns actions that helped fan anti-Japanese discrimination.
