再也没有

2月. 19, 2017, marks the anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s signing of Executive Order 9066 in 1942, which led to the 监禁 of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans – more than two-thirds of them U.S. citizens – in 10 hastily constructed camps in California and six other states.“

再也没有" is series of events and exhibitions that will educate and provoke conversation among students, 教师, and the broader community about the impact and legacy of 监禁 camps on challenges and contradictions we face today. 历史文献, 表达式, and people's’ stories will be intertwined with current day narratives and perspectives about challenges such as 移民权利, 监禁, 和种族主义. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this series hopes to generate new thinking and raise questions about nationalism, 忠诚, 监禁, 移民权利, human and civil rights, 军国主义, 和种族主义 as well as the acts of resistance, 组织, 和异议. Our goal of the events and exhibitions is to ask ourselves: What would you do then? What can you do now?

In the spring of 1942, Occidental College administration, 教师 and students faced the uncertainty and impact of Executive Order 9066. Six Japanese American students would be forced to leave cutting short their studies. Another four soon-to-graduate high school students who were already set to come to Oxy were likewise forced to leave the “military zone" of the Pacific Coast. Led by College President Remsen Bird (1921-1946), concerned Oxy 教师 and administrators took action to support the Japanese Americans of Oxy and our region. 最明显的是, President Bird launched a personal campaign to transfer Oxy’s Japanese American students to other liberal arts colleges across the United States. This and other stories of Oxy civic engagement are captured in the original letters and papers preserved in the College Archives, papers collected and preserved at the request of President Bird himself. Drawing from these papers and materials, the Special Collections & College Archives is launching an exhibit in the Academic Commons and on Global Crossroads to share the impact of 9066 and the forced evacuation of members of the Occidental community.
