SUMMARY:Commemoration of the 83rd Anniversary of the Day of Forced Removal
DESCRIPTION:The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community and Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial Association invite the public to join them Sunday\, March 30th\, as they commemorate the 83rd anniversary of the forced removal of Japanese American friends and neighbors from Bainbridge Island during WWII. \nDate: Sunday\, March 30\, 2025 \nTime: 11 am – noon\, approximately \nLocation: Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial\, located in Pritchard Park (4195 Eagle Harbor Dr NE\, Bainbridge Island). A program will be held on the upper grounds. Seating is limited. Attendees may bring their own chairs. \nParking: On-site parking is reserved for survivors\, speakers\, and people with disabilities. \nComplimentary Shuttle: Off-site parking is located at Hyla School (7861 Bucklin Hill Rd NE\, Bainbridge Island\, WA 98110  and across the street at the American Legion Hall.

The memorial is located at the historic ferry dock landing where the first of more than 120\,000 individuals of Japanese descent—two-thirds of whom were American citizens—were forced from their homes and confined to concentration camps during World War II. Executive Order 9066 was signed President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19\, 1942. \nThis year’s program centers around the theme “A Place to Call Home\,” exploring the powerful impact we can make as friends and neighbors in fostering a culture of acceptance. Bainbridge Island had one of the highest percentages of formerly incarcerated residents return home after WWII—what made this community different? \nSpeakers include: \n\nElilai Abraham\, the Suquamish Tribe\nDebra Grindeland\, Yonsei\, teacher at Woodward Middle School\nKaren Beierle\, Bainbridge resident for more than 60 years\nEllen Sato Faust\, Executive Director\, Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial Association\nClarence Moriwaki\, Bainbridge Island City Council member\nGreg Nance\, WA State Representative\, District 23\nKen Matsudaira and Mariko Green\, with a reading of the 276 names\n\nFollowing the program\, Densho and BIJAEMA will hold a Community Scanning Day at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Densho’s archives staff will be there to assist in digitizing photos and artifacts of Japanese families from pre-WWII and the exclusion periods.
