The Japanese American Incarceration Memorial Legacy Project made two stops in Southern California over the weekend — Saturday at the East San Gabriel Valley Japanese Community Center in West Covina and Sunday at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Johnny Cepeda Gogo has been traveling around the country, inviting Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II to sign vintage 48-star American flags, to be displayed at JANM, Japanese American Museum of San Jose, and other community institutions. Former incarcerees were accompanied by their children and grandchildren; in some cases, children and grandchildren signed on behalf of their deceased parents and grandparents. Veterans were asked to sign the stars.
