In the 1980s, Japanese Americans successfully fought for reparations. Chicago played a key role in those efforts.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, 120,000 people of Japanese descent were forcibly removed from their homes, uprooted from the lives they built and stripped of their civil rights. The aftermath of Japanese American incarceration led to a national movement for reparations.
