This chronology is organized under the following headings: The Early Years; Immigration and Anti-Japanese Activities; World War II and Imprisonment of Japanese Aliens and Citizens; Post-War; Campaign for Redress. Also noted are public policies at the state and federal levels addressing the Japanese American incarceration, as well as Japanese Americans in public service, and honors given to specific individuals.\n </p>\n <p>\n The learning activities are divided into \"Elementary\" (second through sixth grade) and \"Intermediate and Secondary\" (seventh through twelfth grade). Five of the six elementary lessons are related to specific texts:\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/The Bracelet (book)/\" title=\"The Bracelet (book)\">\n The Bracelet\n </a>\n </i>\n (1993) by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Yoshiko_Uchida\" title=\"Yoshiko Uchida\">\n Yoshiko Uchida\n </a>\n ,\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Baseball Saved Us (book)/\" title=\"Baseball Saved Us (book)\">\n Baseball Saved Us\n </a>\n </i>\n (1993) by Ken Mochizuki,\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Welcome_Home_Swallows_(book)\" title=\"Welcome Home Swallows (book)\">\n Welcome Home Swallows\n </a>\n </i>\n (2001) by Marlene Shigekawa,\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Journey to Topaz: A Story of the Japanese-American Evacuation (book)/\" title=\"Journey to Topaz: A Story of the Japanese-American Evacuation (book)\">\n Journey to Topaz\n </a>\n </i>\n (1971) by Yoshiko Uchida, and\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Japanese American Journey: The Story of a People (book)/\" title=\"Japanese American Journey: The Story of a People (book)\">\n Japanese American Journey\n </a>\n </i>\n (1985).

A summary of the violations of Constitutional Rights is useful analysis for U.S. History and/or civics classes; it identifies the related rights and freedoms, the Bill of Rights Amendment/Constitutional Article, and the specific violation(s). Additional historical background is provided in selected pages from\n <i>\n Japanese American Journey: The Story of a People\n </i>\n as well as in articles by Wendy Ng, \"Japanese Americans in the Military and Resisters of Conscience\" and \"Japanese American Redress\" by Mitchell T. Maki.\n </p>\n <p>\n The 5th edition added new information to update the 4th edition (2002). This includes: \"The Power of Words,\" which explains the wartime use of euphemisms; and \"Civil Liberties in Crisis,\" a two-part section examining the experience of Arab and Muslim Americans in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, as well noting the various constitutional crises that the United States has faced throughout its history. The resource list is also revised.\n </p>\n <p>\n Political debates in California in the late 1980s and early 1990s prompted the JACL to develop the first edition of this curriculum and resource guide in 1996. This is noted by Alexandra Wood in \"After Apology: Public Education as Redress for Japanese American and Japanese Canadian Confinement\" (pages 205-210). The National Education Committee of the JACL with support from JACL chapters, districts, and volunteers drafted the curriculum based on a model provided by the Day of Remembrance Curriculum Committee of the San Francisco Unified School District,\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/National_Japanese_American_Historical_Society\" title=\"National Japanese American Historical Society\">\n National Japanese American Historical Society\n </a>\n , Sonoma Chapter of the JACL Curriculum Guide Committee of the Sonoma County Schools Office of Education and the Sacramento City Unified School District Curriculum Services Department.\n </p>\n <p>\n Founded in 1929, the JACL is the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights/education organization in the United States.\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Janet_Hayakawa\" title=\"Janet Hayakawa\">\n Janet Hayakawa\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Hayakawa, Janet\n </div>\n</div>\n",
