Norman Y. Mineta Japanese American Confinement Education Grants

The Norman Y. Mineta Japanese American Confinement Education (JACE) grants provide federal funding through a competitive process for large, impactful projects that educate the public about the historical importance of Japanese American incarceration during World War II, so that present and future generations may learn from Japanese American confinement and the commitment of the United States to equal justice under the law.
