After years of lobbying by the Japanese American community, the U.S. Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which was signed into law by then President Ronald Reagan. Through this piece of legislation, the U.S. government formally apologized for its actions—for putting over a hundred thousand of its own citizens of Japanese ancestry into internment camps. In addition, the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 authorized a $20,000 payment to be made to every living survivor of the internment camps. Using evidence from the opinions of the Korematsu v. the United States case, write a letter to be read on the 50th anniversary of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which explains why the U.S. government issued this apology and payments to the survivors of the internment camps.
