Back in 2021, SDPL discovered that San Diego City Council Resolution 76068—one designed to expel San Diego residents of Japanese ancestry—was still on the books. 
After learning this, the Japanese American Citizens League @SDJACL, Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego & San Diego Public Library brought this back to the @CityofSanDiego.
📣 TODAY, by unanimous decision, the City Council has officially rescinded this racist remnant of the past & has issued an apology “to all people of Japanese ancestry for its past in support of this unjust exclusion, removal & incarceration of Japanese Americans during WW2.”
San Diego Public Library is proud to support this historic and momentous occasion. For more information on the inspiration behind this: mysdpl.org/missbreed #librariestransform
