The Sansei Japanese Americans (三世 lit. third generation) are American-born, third generation Japanese American citizens of the United States , the children of the Nisei Japanese American s. Most Sansei were born during the Baby Boom after the end of World War II . Many older Sansei who were living in the western United States during war were forcibly Interned with their parents and grandparents ( Issei Japanese American s) after the issuance of Executive Order 9066 . The Sansei played a leading activist role in a redress movement, which culminated in a bill signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 which provided an official apology and $20,000 restitution for each of the 60,000 survivors (about half of the total internees). |
