In the post-9/11 era, discussion surrounding Japanese-American removal during World War II has gained much more attention. Why did some, including President Eisenhower's brother Milton, fervently advocate in favor of internment? Why did others, including the Seattle Council of Churches, voice their opposition? How has the memory of internment affected treatment of Arab-Anericans following 9/11? Professor Robert Keller will explore each of these questions, illuminating the debate over forced Japanese removal and its impact on how we view civil rights amidst security crises today.
