The act will not only renew funding for the 2006 Japanese American Confinement Sites Program, but also designate $10 million for grants to understand the “use and abuse of power,” and promote awareness around this dark period in American history. nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…

The fact that it requires a book more than 1000 pages long to contain the names of every one of the 125,284 Japanese American incarcerated during World War II shows the scope of that historic injustice. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lis…

There's never been a complete list of the people of Japanese descent incarcerated during WWII. So a team of scholars & volunteers scoured 10's of 1000's of historical documents to come up with all the names — a way to give them back their identities. laist.com/news/wwii-monu…

Nearly 52 years ago, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and San Francisco State adopted the nation’s first Asian American studies curricula. Now, coalitions like @Make_Us_Visible are pushing for a K-12 curriculum that’s more inclusive of AAPIs. nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…

We teamed up with artist, Ashley Lukashevsky, to create two new shirts! They honor the fire and fury of movement elders who taught us to fight for transformative change, and immigrant elders who taught us to dream of a world that we can thrive in. bonfire.com/store/18-milli…
