On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave the U.S. Army the authority to remove 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living in Washington, Oregon, and California during WWII. Most of these people were American citizens. This Executive Order forced people to abandon their jobs, their homes, and their lives to be sent to one of ten concentration camps scattered in desolate, remote regions of the country. Join us for our Sunday discussion service, which will be a panel discussion about this event in history and what it means today.
