Chadbourne, Bill N. Personal interview. 6 Apr. 2014.
I interviewed
Bill Chadbourne, USAF and civilian government service, retired, regarding his
first-hand experience with the Japanese internment when he was a young boy.
This interview was essential because it helped me to get a better
understanding of how dark of a time in history it was for our nation, and also
the effect of the Internment on the Japanese-Americans. So, I thought it
was important to include it in the "Rights" section of my website.

This is an
interview with an internee, including how a soldier asked her if she was human
or not. This is one of many stories of how the rights of the Japanese were
violated in camps. However, this interview is very important because it
helps to understand how the public opinion was so racially prejudice against
the Japanese-Americans and how propaganda released by the military depicted them in
such horrible ways that some of the soldiers who were not very familiar with
the Japanese began to question whether or not they were American citizens,
nonetheless human beings. Thus, this was essential in my website.

Apr. 2014. <http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/323/214#writing-USSC_CR_0323_0214_ZD1>.
This is the full
Korematsu vs. United States case which challenged the constitutionality of the
interment. I strongly believe that despite the fact that the Ex Parte
Endo case ended the interment, the Korematsu case was the most important
because it proves that it can possibly happen again. Overall, this source
helped me in determining the importance of the internment as a whole.
Newspaper
Articles
Anderson, W. H. "The Question of
Japanese-Americans." Los Angeles
Times 2 Feb. 1942. Print. This was an article released that recommended the
internment of the Japanese-Americans.
This newspaper
showed how leading up the Internment, propaganda caused the majority of the
public opinion at that time to be against the Japanese-American citizens.
Thus, this sparked the question of Japanese loyalty to America,
eventually causing the Internment. I included this in my website and also
used it as a good primary source in understanding the concerns of the public
after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

This editorial
is just one of the many articles released that opposed Japanese living on the
West Coast. It helped me understand some of the hatred towards the
Japanese citizens on the West Coast, and how the public wanted them relocated
into the internment camps. I included this harsh newspaper editorial in
my site to demonstrate how prejudice public opinion was towards the
Japanese-Americans during WWII and after the camps ended.
Nonperiodicals
"That Damned Fence." Anonymous Poem Circulated at the Poston Camp. War Relocation Authority Camps. Web. 5 Jan. 2014.

This poem
revealed how many internees felt while confined in the camps. It helped
me to better understand the attitude many internees had towards what was
happening to them, so I included it under the "Rights" section of my
website.

<http://research.archives. gov/description/5730387>.
This is a
photograph of the public law which restricts entering or leaving designated
military zones. I included this in the "Legislative Failure"
section of my website to show how Congress passed an act following the
Executive Order which supported it without any deliberation or examination
given. It helped to understand how all three systems of government, even
the Legislative Branch, failed to protect the constitutional rights of the
Japanese-American citizens during the Internment.

This was the
apology given by George Bush to the survivors of the internment camps. I
used it because it showed how significantly the American government's feeling
had changed and how our country was able to learn and try to correct its past
mistakes. Thus, I felt it was one of the major outcomes of the internment
and included it in my website.

<http://encyclopedia.densho.org/sources/en-denshopd-i67-00019-1/>.
This image shows
how Japanese were reported to have been participating in sabotage and
espionage, though there was no evidence that was true. This is a prime
example of the military hiding important evidence such as this from the Supreme
Court which would have affected the verdict. I included this in my
website because it helped me understand how the government and military were
falsely accusing the Japanese-Americans of participating in espionage and
sabotage.

<http://www.northwestcollege.edu/library/special/hmdpp/9066.dot>.
This page shows
the text in Executive Order 9066 that allowed those in authority to remove any
specific group from designated areas. No race or group was mentioned, though it
was intended to remove Japanese from California and other places on the West
Coast. This gave the military power to remove, relocate, and intern them.
Thus, this page allowed me to better understand how Executive Order 9066
was able to work around the constitutional freedoms our government should
always uphold.

<http://www.densho.org/assets/sharedpages/primarysource/primarysource.asp?id=128&display_format=3§ion=causes&text=1&mediaType=video>.
This is a
"report from the Naval Intelligence Office about the status of Japanese
American loyalty to the United States." I put this important
document in my website to show how the military was hiding crucial evidence
from the Supreme Court which proved how even the "high threat" Japanese-Americans
on the West Coast were and had always been loyal American Citizens.
"Transcript of Chinese Exclusion Act." Our Documents. Web. 28 Dec. 2013.
<http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=47&page=transcript>.
This is a copy
of the text of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that placed restrictions on
Chinese immigration into the U.S. It helped me to better understand the
racism towards the Asian culture dating back to the mid-1800s, and I used this
page as a reference to answer questions on the Chinese Exclusion Act.

This is a
transcript of the instructions which were posted in public streets, telling all
people of Japanese ancestry to pack up and report to their assigned assembly
centers. This helped me understand how the rights of the
Japanese-Americans were deprived and how little notice and time they had before
the ordeal which they had to endure was forced upon them.
US Const. amend. I-X. The National Archives. Web. 6 Apr. 2014. <http://www.archives.gov/
exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html>.
This is a
transcript of the Bill of Rights, which helped me pinpoint some of the major
constitutional rights which were deprived from the Japanese American internees.
For example, the internment denied the freedoms of the 1st, 2nd, 4th,
5th, 6th, and 8th amendments in the Bill of Rights. This allowed me to get
a better understanding of how the government worked around the Constitution for
its own convenience, weakening the fundamentals of timeless documents, such as
this one.

This document
was a copy of the text from Executive Order 9102, which went along with
Executive Order 9066. It helped me understand the specific details of
what happened when a group of people within designated areas were targeted and
removed for military purposes.

This photograph
shows how Japanese Americans were forced to sell or abandon all their property
and be relocated into various centers and camps. This helped me
understand what some of the internees had to go through leading up to their
permanent relocation. Thus, I included this in my website to help convey
the somber emotion, as well as show some basic right violations during that
time.

This is a photo
and a powerful quote of Gordon Hirabayashi, who challenged the
constitutionality of the curfews placed on the Japanese Americans. I
included this in my website under the "Judicial Failure" section
because this case was one of three which demonstrated how the Supreme Court
heavily depended on the military rather than the Constitution during the
Internment. It shows how the government is able to deny any rights from
any citizens during any given time, especially due to the fact that the Court
called the curfews and confinement of the Japanese-Americans a "military
necessity".

This is a photo of
a family being tagged before their relocation. I included it in my
website under the "Rights" section to show how demeaning it was for
many of the internees to be tagged like cattle before being shipped off to the
more permanent relocation centers. It helped me understand how their
specific rights were violated in such inhumane ways.

This photo shows
how the Japanese were imprisoned behind barbed wire under 24-hour surveillance.
This helped me to understand how many of the internees must have felt to
be confined in these concentration camps with such inadequate living
conditions. I included this picture in my website to help give the reader
a somber mood, as well as cause the audience to feel sympathy for the
Japanese-American citizens during that dark time in history.

This photo shows
how many of the Japanese were unable to return to their homes or shops because
they had been vandalized, looted or destroyed. This helped me understand
how the basic rights of the Japanese were violated in such horrible ways, as
well as the tensions that remained after they returned home. I included
this photo in my website to show how many internees felt after the camps ended.
"Japanese Internment Camps." Pinterest. Web. 5 Jan. 2014.
<http://www.pinterest. com/jpooh3169/japanese-internment/>.
This photo shows
how the rights of the Japanese were violated because they were imprisoned in an
Internment Camp and were unable to leave. I included this picture in my
website to demonstrate how the internees were confined and guarded under
constant military surveillance, which caused grief and pain to all of the
innocent internees.

violation, as well as conveying the sad mood as many Japanese-Americans during
that time would have felt.

This is a photo
of Manzanar, one of the major Internment camps during the 1940s. In the photo, the camp was placed in an
isolated desert with small, cabin-like houses. This shows the poor conditions
at the camps. I included this photograph in my site to show how bad the
camps were for many of the internees, so that we can remember how horrible of a
time it was in our nation’s history especially for those Japanese-American
citizens.

This was a political
cartoon was written during the time of the Anti-Asian Movement. It helped
me get a better understanding about how the Chinese Exclusion Act was
unconstitutional and opposed the basic freedoms and principles of the
Constitution. I included it to show how Uncle Sam, who represents our
country and its government, has a "skeleton in his closet" to haunt
him for allowing such an act against a specific group of American citizens.

This is one of
the posters that depicted the Japanese as disloyal and dangerous, one of many
other posters that were based off of racial discrimination and wartime
hysteria. It helped me to understand how the propaganda released by the
military shifted public opinion against the Japanese-Americans which eventually
led to their internment, so I included it in my website. It was also a
part of pressure inflicted on Franklin Delano Roosevelt which eventually caused
him to sign Executive Order 9066.

This photo shows
how many Caucasian residents of the West Coast were against the Japanese
returning back from the camps. I included it in my website to demonstrate
how the majority of public opinion was still against the Japanese-Americans
even after the camps ended, which proved how much pain and destruction the
camps caused the internees for years.

not suggest any rights violations on those of Middle Eastern descent after
