In the 1960s and '70s, Asian Americans mobilized for a slew of political causes, including the development of ethnic studies programs in universities, the end of the Vietnam War and reparations for Japanese Americans placed in internment camps during World War II.

Americans thought Japanese Americans were helping japan during ww2
Sadly there were 110,000 - 120,000 Japanese Americans sent to the internment camps during WW2.
The US policy to intern the Japanese Americans (Canadians did too) was unconstitutional. They did not release them even after the US Supreme Court determined it was unconstitutional for the US Government to set of the internment camps, take the Japanese Americans from their homes. They took their homes and businesses too and that was illegal. Some Japanese Americans have received paltry reparations for their illegal internment.

The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was made into a federal law which allowed for reparations to be made to those Japanese-American citizens who were wrongly interned/imprisoned during WW2 . ~ See related link below .

The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) advocated for Japanese American civil rights by challenging discriminatory laws and policies, providing legal support to those affected by internment during World War II, and promoting public awareness about the injustices faced by Japanese Americans. The JACL also worked to secure redress and reparations for Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during the war.
