February 19, 2017 marks the 75th anniversary of when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, an order\u00a0requiring the internment of all Americans of Japanese ancestry. In Oregon, since 1979, this has been known as the\u00a0Day of Remembrance,\u00a0a day commemorating the Japanese American internment during World War II. Within the state,\u00a0there was a detention site:\u00a0the former site of the Pacific International Livestock Exposition, which, in 1942, had been the site of the Portland Assembly Center.<\/p>\n

To ensure that this history is not forgotten, and that we as a nation learn from our past mistakes, the OSU Asian Pacific Cultural Center curated a display to commemorate the Japanese-American experience, specifically the Japanese-American students who were enrolled at OSU at the time.<\/p>\n
