#Repost @gvshp_nyc with @repostapp ・・・ On this day in 1942, 75 years ago, the Executive Order was signed sending 120,000 Japanese-Americans to internment camps, regardless of their citizenship, loyalty to America, or any evidence of any threat they posed. This was a dark period in American history we must never forget or repeat. Find out more about how two great Japanese-American artists and Greenwich Village residents fought and responded to this shameful act, as well as countless other notable examples of those who fought racism, anti-semitism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia, and stood up for immigrants and a more just and inclusive world, on GVSHP's Civil Rights and Social Justice Map, at www.gvshp.org/civilrightsmap. #civilrights #civilrightsmovement #socialjustice #japaneseamericaninternment #isamunoguchi #mineokubo #minéokubo #citizen13660 #greenwichvillage #eastvillage #noho #fightracism #fightsexism #fighthomophobia #fighttransphobia #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #immigrants #immigrantswelcome
