Sacramento Valley SLK Enthusiasts: Saturday, February 25th 2023 - WWII Japanese Smithsonian Exhibit, this exhibit is only here for a very short time. A new traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian has made its way to Rancho Cordovan and takes a look at the complex history of World Warr II Japanese American Incarceration camps.
A star-spangled flag signed by Japanese internment survivors is a complicated part of American history that is often glossed over in school textbooks and is now coming to life at the Mills Station Arts and Culture Center (MACC).
The new exhibit, titled "Righting a Wrong," takes a look at the history and impacts of Executive Order 9066, which led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"These are not the stories of a few. These are the stories of an awful lot of people," said Cheryl Gleason, the art director and curator at the MACC.
This executive order sent 75,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry and 45,000 Japanese nationals to incarceration camps.
