Today is the 80th anniversary of Franklin D. Roosevelt signing executive order 9066, and creating one of the darkest moments in American history. Upon its signing, over 100,000 Japanese Americans were denied their freedoms and due process. People like my grandparents and great grandparents were denied due process and their freedom, and forced to leave the lives that they fought so hard to create in this country. They would be forced at gunpoint into racetracks and fairgrounds, and finally into trains and buses to Concentration Camps. I created “Gaman” to help people empathize with the plight that so many were forced into by their government, and to start a conversation about this often hidden moment in our history. I am releasing it publically today for everyone to enjoy, and to hopefully inspire those who watch it to look into this history so that we may never repeat it again.
