Venice Japanese American Memorial Monument

Lincoln Blvd
Venice, CA 90291

The Venice Japanese American Memorial Monument (VJAMM) stands proudly at the intersection of Venice and Lincoln Boulevards, commemorating the forced relocation of approximately 1,000 individuals of Japanese ancestry from the Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu areas in April 1942. This 9-foot tall obelisk made of solid black granite serves as a poignant reminder of this significant chapter in American history.

In addition to honoring the past, VJAMM supports educational initiatives through the annual Arnold Maeda Manzanar Pilgrimage Grant, which funds recipients to explore and learn about the internment experience. The monument also features a gallery, letters of support, and an active committee dedicated to preserving the memory of those affected by this injustice.
