About Japanese American Citizens League St. Louis Chapter

The Japanese American Citizens League St. Louis Chapter, based in Creve Coeur, MO, is dedicated to securing and maintaining civil rights for Japanese Americans and all individuals victimized by injustice and bigotry. As part of the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization in the United States, the St. Louis Chapter implements comprehensive strategies to address critical issues affecting the community on both local and national levels.

The chapter actively monitors and responds to pressing concerns including anti-Asian violence prevention, educational advocacy, and civil rights protection. A key focus area involves promoting accurate accounts of the Japanese American experience in educational curricula, ensuring that historical narratives reflect truth and dignity. The St. Louis Chapter works collaboratively with other ethnic and cultural organizations to enhance cross-community understanding and build coalitions that strengthen minority representation and influence within the broader community.

Beyond advocacy work, the chapter organizes and sponsors numerous annual events that foster community connection and cultural preservation. The chapter administers scholarships for students committed to diversity, civil rights, and social justice initiatives. With roots dating back to 1946, the St. Louis JACL maintains a legacy of community engagement, evidenced by its permanent recognition at the entrance to the Japanese Garden. The organization continues to adapt to contemporary challenges while preserving the heritage and values of the Japanese American community, demonstrating that through collaborative effort and sustained commitment, meaningful social change is achievable.
