3:56Now PlayingCherry Kinoshita was forced, along with thousands of other Japanese Americans, into World War II internment camps. She spent the war years at Puyallup Assembly Center in Washington and then in the Minidoka camp in Idaho. Decades later, in the 1970s and 1980s, she worked with the Japanese American Citizens League to seek redress for this incarceration.
Eventually, President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, providing a government apology and reparations for Japanese Americans. In this oral history recorded for Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project, she recounts the behind-the-scenes efforts to achieve this recognition. This is the second of two parts.
