Be sure to also check out this list of children’s books for more about Japanese experiences during World War II. Though the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II is an event from the past, issues of racism and injustice of all forms continue to permeate our society and harm many communities. While today is a reminder of this specific injustice committed against Japanese Americans by the U.S. government, I hope that reading and learning about it allows for a more empathetic and accepting world as a whole.
