Students end class by reading a handout about the Japanese American Redress Movement.
Day Two
After debriefing their reading on the Japanese American Redress Movement, students view a video of Japanese Americans reflecting on the redress movement and assess for themselves the success of the movement in achieving justice and reconciliation. They then turn their attention to modern social justice issues and explore ideas for addressing them effectively.
