A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans and the U.S. Constitution Essa

A more than Perfect Union Nipponese Americans and the U.S. ConstitutionIntroductionLocated on the third floor of the guinea pig Museum of American History, A More Perfect Union documents the forced resettlement of thousands of Nipponese Americans during World War II. The exhibit focuses on the violation of underlying rights that occurred during this process. The roles of this review are as follows describe the scope, purpose, and core of the exhibit, analyze how that message is organized and communicated, evaluate the effectiveness of the exhibit, and interpret the exhibit as a cultural artifact.DescriptionDuring the late 19th and early 20th centuries, more Japanese immigrated to the United States and started new lives on the West Coast or Hawaii.

All other aspects of the exhibit, especially the artifacts and audio-visual displays, were suitably used to separate the story of the Japanese relocation.
