Americans in Concentration Camps is an article by Harry Paxton Howard which was published in the September 1942 issue of “The Crisis,” a quarterly magazine founded by the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) in 1910. “The Crisis,” created by W.E.B Du Bois, is one of the oldest black periodicals in America. Americans in Concentration Camps was published shortly after the establishment of incarceration camps for Japanese Americans. Paxton Howard writes about Japanese incarceration, explaining the government’s reasoning and also discussing the living conditions of the Japanese while interned. He argues that color seemed to be the only reason why Japanese Americans were relocated and placed into camps. He concludes that this issue should concern Black Americans, as it represents an integral struggle for racial equality.
