The ideas that are often associated with World War II usually relate to the deadly warfare, to Nazi Germany, and to the utilization of the atomic bomb. However, one of the most overlooked and appalling events that took place during World War II was the internment of Japanese Americans.

They demanded action from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to be taken towards eliminating racial bias in the workplace; they threatened to commence a March on Washington if an executive order was not
