The annual Los Angeles Day of Remembrance commemorates the signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Executive Order 9066 authorized the US military to forcibly remove persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast and set into motion their incarceration into concentration camps during World War II. During JANM on the Go we are pleased to partner with the Los Angeles DOR Committee for this year's commemoration at the Los Angeles Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple.
