Allegiance-The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is an oft-overlooked and shameful chapter of American history. In the aftermath of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt authorized, through Executive Order 9066, the forced evacuation of approximately 120,000 persons of Japanese descent from the West Coast of the U.S. and their involuntary internment in ten concentration camps on American soil. About two-thirds of the internees were American citizens. Drama Stage, Lea Salonga, Sing Out, Theatre Problems, Theatre Quotes, Ramin Karimloo, Originals Cast, Mean People
