All Men
In 1942 The United States forced approximately 110,000-120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes and into internment camps. The Government claimed that their intentions were focused on the safety of the American people. Decades later they retracted their statement and admitted that their actions were racially motivated. This poster is meant to educate people on the civil injustice brought to Japanese Americans long ago.
The white text roughly translates to
“All humans are equal.”
