History good or bad must never be a footnote in a textbook. No matter how harsh the history is.
Document for February 19th:
Executive Order 9066: Resulting in the Relocation of Japanese.
Issued by President Franklin Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, this order authorized the evacuation of all persons deemed a threat to national security from the West Coast to relocation centers further inland. In the next 6 months, over 100,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry were moved to assembly centers. They were then evacuated to and confined in isolated, fenced, and guarded relocation centers, known as internment camps.

This is a excellent reminder of the unwise use of Executive Power. I believe, however, that Pres Roosevelt's motivation was defending the Nation at a difficult time US history. It is also a cautionary tale to groups in the US today who speak out against the US and all it stands for in complete ignorance of the fragility of the protection of their civil rights.
