Did you know? Northeastern Illinois University was a site of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) hearings that took place in 1981 as part of the Japanese American Redress Movement.

The hearings investigated the legality of Executive Order 9066, a mandate issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II that led to the detainment of more than 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, two-thirds of whom were American citizens.

Join us as we commemorate the 45th anniversary of the CWRIC hearings with a three part series of events that are free and open to the public.
