"Go" Gameboard from Japanese Internment Camp
Fuju Sasakica. 1942-45
National Constitution Center
Philadelphia, PA, United States
While interned in an Arizona relocation center, California resident Fuju Sasaki handmade this game of strategy. His family was forced to relocate in 1942, when Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the internment of individuals of Japanese descent. The Korematsu case challenged this executive order, but the Supreme Court upheld the president’s wartime decision.
