Program objective

The program provides for the preservation and interpretation of historic confinement sites where Japanese Americans were detained during World War II. The program was established to encourage projects that identify, research, evaluate, interpret, protect, restore, repair, and acquire historic confinement sites in order that present and future generations may learn and gain inspiration from these sites and that these sites will demonstrate the Nation's commitment to equal justice under the law.
