Organizational Background:

The Japanese American Citizens League, the nation’s oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization, was founded in 1929 to address issues of discrimination targeted specifically at persons of Japanese ancestry residing in the United States.

During WWII, the JACL served as an important liaison between the U.S. Government and the Japanese American community. The JACL argued and eventually was important in the formation of the justly-famous 442nd Regimental Combat team, comprised of Japanese Americans.

Following the war, the JACL began a long series of legislative efforts to win back the rights of Japanese Americans. In 1946, the JACL embarked on a hard-fought campaign to repeal California’s Alien Land Law, which, enacted in the early years of the century, prohibited all Japanese aliens (i.e., immigrants) from purchasing and owning land in the state. In 1948, the JACL helped found the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and, in the same year, succeeded in gaining passage of the Evacuation Claims Act, the first of a series of efforts to rectify the losses and injustices of the WWII internment. In 1949, the JACL initiated efforts in the U.S. Congress to gain the right of Japanese immigrants to become naturalized citizens of the U.S., a right denied to them for over fifty years. The 1951 Walter-McCarren Act allowed Issei immigrants to become naturalized citizens. In the early 1970s the JACL began a new campaign, an effort to obtain redress for the Japanese Americans who were interned by the U.S. Government during WWII. The campaign became more serious in 1976 when the JACL formed the National Committee for Redress (NCR) at its Biennial National Convention. In 1980, JACL-sponsored legislation to create a federal investigative commission was approved by the Congress and signed by President Carter. The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) was established to investigate the circumstances surrounding the WWII internment and provide its findings to the Congress and the president. The commission’s report in 1982 found that the government’s actions were unjustified and unconstitutional. Based on the recommendations in the CWRIC’s report the JACL sought legislation calling for monetary redress and a presidential apology. Although it took several attempts at legislation, the campaign was eventually successful. In 1988 Congress passed HR-442, also known as the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which provided monetary compensation and a formal apology to the victims of the WWII internment.

Scope and Content Note:

This collection illuminates the efforts of the JACL to obtain redress for Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated and interned by the U.S. Government during World War II. The collection is arranged into sixteen series arranged alphabetically. The collection contains a wide variety of materials including correspondence, memoranda, bills, reports, government printings, photographs, articles, editorials, testimonies, handbooks, manuals, press releases, budgetary materials, oral history transcripts, booklets, pamphlets, meetings minutes and receipts.

Arrangement Note:

This collection was arranged primarily at the series level, with little arrangement within the series. All materials were rehoused and relabeled, but in most cases the original order of the files, as received from the JACL, was maintained.
