The council made it possible for the nisei to leave the world war ii prison camps for colleges and universities across the united states. The nsrc fund encourages inter-ethnic collaboration and promotes public awareness and understanding of the forced removal and internment of 120,000 persons of japanese ancestry during world war ii.
