EXECUTIVE ORDER 9066

On this date, in 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which called for the internment of citizens of Japanese descent.

The government has at least apologized and paid reparations, not that that really means much.

But still, I wonder when this country will stand up to its legacy of slavery and racism against Americans of African descent.

Truth and reconciliation instead of denial.

Perhaps the reparations owed  would be too much eh.
