On February 21, Portland Community College hosted a forum to mark the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which they described as "an act, born of hatred and fear, that sent more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans to internment camps during World War II... including a camp here in Portland, Oregon." The panel talked about the history and content of EO9066 and drew parallels to what's happening in the world in 2017. Opening the forum were Mari Watanabe of Partners in Diversity, whose family had been interned, and Mark Mitsui, President of PCC. A short video featuring George Takei urges people to take action so it never happens again. The panelists appearing on part 1 of this 2-part episode are: Lynn Fuchigami Longfellow of the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, Dr. John Shaw, a PCC History instructor, and Peggy Nagae, a Portland lawyer who successfully argued for reparations to families affected by EO 9066. In part 2, the presentations wrap up with Wajdi Said of the Muslim Educational Trust and Harry Anastasiou, Portland State University Conflict Resolution Chair. They and the other panelists then weigh in with thoughts prompted by audience questions. Wrapping up, local business leader Sho Dozono leads the crowd in chanting "Never again!"
This show was video captured by PC Peri and produced/edited by Dan Handelman.
