John Modell is an American Historian and educator. He was a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial fellow, 1978-1979. There is a Japanese American and a Japanese national population in Los Angeles and Greater Los Angeles. Japanese people began arriving in the United States in the late 1800s and have settled in places like Hawaii, Alaska, and California. Los Angeles has become a hub for people of Japanese descent for generations in areas like Little Tokyo and Boyle Heights. After the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Japanese immigration to the United States increased drastically throughout the 1800s. From 1869-1910 Los Angeles became a prime location for Japanese immigrants to settle down. By 1910, Los Angeles had the highest percentage of Japanese and Japanese descendants in the country. Japanese immigrants took on the low-wage jobs that were once held by Chinese Immigrants and settled in cities like San Francisco. Japanese immigrants were once recruited to come to the United States to take on jobs on railroads but quickly turned to agriculture as a means of work in Southern California. In 1905, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner published an article on the "yellow peril" and related it to Japanese immigrants, as its original creation was against people of Chinese descent. The first group traveled from San Francisco after experiencing anti-Asian sentiment in that city. The early 1900s saw an increase of racism and xenophobia in California to the point where Asian children were being segregated in public schools in San Francisco. After the 1906 earthquake in Northern California, around 2, 000-3, 000 Japanese immigrants moved to Los Angeles and created areas like Little Tokyo on East Alameda. As the community continued to grow, Little Tokyo extended to the First Street Corridor in Boyle Heights, in the early 1910s. Boyle Heights was Los Angeles's largest residential communities of Japanese immigrants and Americans, apart from Little Tokyo. In the early 1910s, Boyle Heights was one of the only communities that did not have restricted housing covenants that discriminated against Japanese and other people of color. Boyle Heights was a bustling interracial community where people of different ethnic backgrounds lived amongst each other. In the 1920s and 1930s, Boyle Heights became the center of significant churches, temples, and schools for the Japanese community, As of December 1941 there were 37, 000 ethnic Japanese people in Los Angeles County. Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which authorized military commanders to exclude "any or all persons" from certain areas in the name of national defense, the Western Defense Command began ordering Japanese Americans living on the West Coast to present themselves for "evacuation" from the newly created military zones. This included many Los Angeles families.
