The Berkeley Historical Society's exhibition Roots, Removal and Resistance: Japanese Americans in Berkeley highlights the historical presence and subsequent removal of Japanese Americans during WWII.
Executive Order 9066 led to the forced removal of 1,300 Japanese and Japanese American residents from Berkeley, impacting generations and leaving profound scars.
The exhibition contains a detailed map of Japanese American households in Berkeley before their incarceration, connecting the past to present injustices.
The story of the Tsukamoto family exemplifies the personal tragedies caused by wartime policies, leading to loss and community displacement.
