Personal Justice Denied Report Issued

On February 24, 1983, the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) issued Personal Justice Denied, concluding the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans stemmed from 'race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership' rather than military necessity. It laid the groundwork for the 1988 Civil Liberties Act and redress.
