| In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which gave the U.S. Army in time of national peril and to preserve national safety, the right to exclude any person from designated military zones. 110,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated under this law and over 4000 of them came from Oregon. The Japanese Americans in the Portland area were evacuated to temporary living spaces in what had previously been the Pacific International Livestock Exposition building in the north of Portland. Partitioning the building with plywood they made tiny apartments. Each family was assigned a room and they shared a toilet and had little privacy. From the cramped North Portland Assembly Center they were relocated by train to one of the Japanese internment camps. Finally after 2 failed legal challenges to Executive Order 9066 and 2 ½ years later, President Roosevelt rescinded the Order and the last cam was closed by the end of 1945. Unfortunately, many returning immigrants had lost their land that they had once cultivated. In 1968, the US government began paying reparations to Japanese Americans for property they lost. In 1983, Jimmy Carter and Congress recommended that Congress apologize and give a tax-free payment of $20,000 to surviving evacuees. These payments were finally authorized in 1987 when Ronald Regan signed the Civil Rights Act of 1988. |
