Little Tokyo Community Candlelight Vigil

Please join Nikkei for Civil Rights & Redress (NCRR) to reflect on the tragic events on September 11th in remembrance of the victims of the tragedy. We would also like to remember the Japanese American wartime experience as our civil rights were violated and would like to encourage everyone to focus on justice, not revenge and to not stereotype or scapegoat people of Arab American or Muslim American heritage. JOIN US.

Date: Friday, September 28, 2001

Time: 6:30 pm

Place: corner of First and Alameda Streets in Little Tokyo

Bring your own candles (a limited number will be provided by NCRR)
