This is a historically significant government report prepared by historian Ruth E. McKee. Also credited on title page are the United States Department of the Interior, War Relocation Authority (WRA), U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug, and WRA Director Dillon S. Myer. This 1946 report is a research paper by Ruth E. McKee in which she adamantly defends people of Japanese ancestry, gives a history of Japanese immigration to the U.S., and explains that racism was a driving factor in the internment or incarceration of Japanese Americans and other people of Japanese ancestry in the U.S. during WWII. The following are the titles of the report's three parts and constituent chapters: "Part I: The West Coast's Least Known and Most Misrepresented Minority: Early Voyages from Japan to the New World; The Immigrant Generation and the California Racists; The Population Myth; The Birth Rate; Dual Citizenship; Japanese Language Schools; Distribution of Japanese Americans," "Part II: Interim; December 7, 1941-December, 1942-February 19, 1942: The Beginning; The Rallying of the Racists; First Round to the Racists," and "Part III: Triumph for the Racists: 'At the Discretion of the Appropriate Military Commander'; The Case for the Government." During WWII, about 110,000 to 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated in ten internment camps under Executive Order 9066 which was signed into law by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on February 19, 1942. About 2/3 of the Japanese internees were U.S. citizens; the rest were non-citizens. Internees were forcibly removed from their homes if they did not go willingly and were only permitted to take what they could carry with them to the internment camps. Executive Order 9066 targeted the Western states of the U.S. where most of the Japanese internees lived. The WRA was created by Executive Order 9102 on March 18, 1942 by Roosevelt and terminated by President Harry S. Truman on June 26, 1946. On December 18, 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the decision that the internment or incarceration of Japanese people under Executive Order 9066 was unconstitutional because it detained loyal citizens without cause. By the end of 1945, nine of the ten internment camps were shut down. Tule Lake War Relocation Center remained open until March 20, 1946. In the 1970s, President Jimmy Carter's administration found there was little evidence of disloyalty among Japanese people in the U.S. and their internment was based on racism. President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which formally apologized to Japanese internees and authorized payment of $20,000 to former detainees who were still alive. The Civil Liberties Act expressly stated that Japanese internment was caused by "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.".…
