About Japanese American Citizens League Detroit Chapter

The Japanese American Citizens League Detroit Chapter serves the Detroit, MI community and surrounding metro area through comprehensive cultural programming and educational initiatives. Since 1946, the organization has been instrumental in organizing and supporting events that celebrate Japanese and Japanese American heritage while fostering meaningful connections within Michigan's Japanese American population. The chapter offers a diverse range of activities designed to strengthen community bonds, preserve cultural traditions, and promote understanding across ethnic communities. Their programming initiatives include cultural events, educational workshops, and community gatherings that bring together Japanese Americans of all generations. The JACL Detroit Chapter also administers scholarship opportunities for students pursuing higher education at accredited institutions, recognizing the importance of educational advancement and community resilience. Additionally, the organization maintains the "Exiled to Motown" traveling exhibit and accompanying publication, which documents the rich and often overlooked history of Japanese Americans in Detroit—from early employment at Ford Motor Company to post-World War II resettlement in the Midwest. The chapter actively engages with broader Asian and ethnic American communities to promote cross-cultural dialogue and mutual support. By offering membership opportunities and encouraging community participation, the JACL Detroit Chapter continues its decades-long commitment to celebrating Japanese American identity while addressing civil rights issues and fostering community togetherness throughout the Detroit metropolitan region.
