CIVIL LIBERTIES ACT OF 1988
Two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. This order that he passed led to evacuation and relocation of nearly 122,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry on the west coast of the United States. It had changed lives of thousands of Japanese-American.
After years of battle with other countries and the world, it finally ended. In the year of 1988 an act called Civil Liberties Act was created. This act was sent throughout the house and signed into a law by a president known as Ronald Reagan. This act was made just for the Japanese-Americans that were in the holding camp during World War II. This act granted each surviving Japanese-American that was in the holding camp about 20,000 dollars in compensation. The act also gave back some rights that the Japanese-American citizens had lost.
