Educator Information
The JAMSJ library has text materials and videotapes that can be used by teachers to educate their students about the Japanese American experience. The World War II evacuation and internment followed by the redress legislation of 1988 is an excellent case study of the principles of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.
