Welcome to the Twin Cities Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). JACL is a national membership organization whose mission is to secure and maintain the human and civil rights of Americans victimized by injustice.
JACL derives its effectiveness through its strategically located regional offices, which serve the needs of the organization’s members and help maintain the well-being of all Americans.
In addition to its national headquarters in San Francisco, the JACL has regional offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington D.C.
The Pacific Citizen, publishing news and information for and about the Asian American community since 1929, is a production of the JACL Los Angeles office.

And she says 'if possible' because most people while they may have had a stove, didn't have an oven so you would have had to have had access to the ovens that were in the mess halls. She [Evelyn Kimura] also says that a lot of times the stoves were broken or people didn't have access to the pots and pans."Max Miller's Tasting History , a "culinary and history fusion show that recreates ancient or historical recipes" while sharing the history of time and place, takes on the Japanese American Incarceration. Imagine 125,000 people taken from their homes, multigenerational families, stripped of most of their worldly possessions, and left to start anew in an incarceration camp. What did they eat? Miller found some recipes from the camps in the Topaz Times, a camp newspaper produced during WWII, and has recreated a dish while sharing the experience of the incarcerated of the period.
