Japanese Cultural Center of New Mexico
The New Mexico Japanese-American Citizens League (NMJACL) is the state affiliate of the national Japanese-American Citizens League, founded in 1947 to support the Japanese-American community in New Mexico. Through cultural events such as the annual Aki Matsuri festival and various educational initiatives, NMJACL aims to promote awareness of Japanese-American heritage and advocate for civil and human rights within the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.
In addition to celebrating cultural traditions, NMJACL is actively involved in projects that address historical injustices faced by Japanese-Americans, including the internment experience during World War II. The organization stands against discrimination and works to foster inclusivity and diversity for future generations.
