Lesson Plan: Japanese Americans Incarcerated
Grades 7-12
In the months after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt ordered 120,000 people of Japanese descent, most of them American citizens, rounded up and imprisoned in internment camps. In 10 camps across the American West, Japanese Americans persevered for four years. Even after they were removed from their homes and places of business, these people created new communities within the camps.
