April 16 — Imprisonment of Americans of Asian Descent – Post 9/11 Implications for Muslim Americans
During War World II, civil rights protected by the U.S. Constitution were “thrown out the window” with the imprisonment of Americans of Japanese heritage. This extreme social injustice is an example of the extreme power of racism driving government decisions. Though this tragedy occurred more than 50 years ago, the implications remain current and will be discussed in the post-9/11 context of the imprisonment of Muslim Americans.
When: Wednesday, April 16, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.
Where: IUPUI Campus Center 148
Presentation by David Suzuki.
Cultural Celebrations: Asian American & Pacific Islander Month
