During World War II, the US government forcibly relocated and detained over 120,000 Japanese Americans, violating their civil rights and causing immense hardship. 

The internment camps were established based on fear and prejudice, targeting innocent individuals solely based on their Japanese ancestry. Families were uprooted from their homes and confined in isolated camps, enduring harsh living conditions and loss of personal freedoms. The internment experience remains a dark chapter in American history, highlighting the importance of safeguarding civil liberties and promoting equality for all.
