There was a long way from the end of the war until President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. In 1941, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the US government, citing “military necessity”, detained about 120,000 Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II.
Most are US citizens and half are children. Most of these people will spend the next two to five years unfairly depriving them of their rights and freedoms and detained without due process. They have lost their homes, livelihoods and communities.
These are constitutional rights, which have finally forced the community to request remuneration and repair. When the fields closed, the American Japanese received 25 USD and a railway ticket at a time to restore their lives. Faced with short-term challenges that find work and accommodation, feed their families and bring their children back to school-school-school school focused on apology or repairs.

The development of a collective political voice required time.
