Executive Order 9066 allowed for the interment of American Citizens of Japanese heritage. Over 110,000 Americans were removed from their homes and relocated into camps spread out across the Southwest and into Arkansas. These were not enemy soldiers, but American citizens, who happened to be of Japanese descent. They lost their homes, property, businesses, and much more throughout this process. In this episode we will discuss FDR's most controversial executive order, and why this topic is important to learn about in school.
