Japanese American Citizen
The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), established in 1921, is the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization dedicated to securing and maintaining the civil rights of Japanese Americans and all individuals affected by injustice and bigotry. Through educational programs and advocacy, JACL addresses issues related to anti-Asian hate and promotes cultural, educational, and social values within the Japanese American community.
With a century-long legacy, JACL stands as a vital voice in the American civil rights movement, combating hate and sharing crucial lessons from the incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. The organization works to ensure that the values of inclusivity and tolerance continue to shape the future of the United States.
