On the evening of August 4, 1981, NCRR arranged a special evening session at the Little Tokyo Towers in Los Angeles, so that people who worked during the day could attend and participate in the CWRIC hearings. While the testimony footage for this session is incomplete and disjointed, the testifiers provide their heartbreaking experiences of personal loss, trauma, and discrimination.

August 6th, 1981 was the third and final day of the CWRIC Los Angeles hearings, consisting of testimonies from the issei (first-generation Japanese Americans) who chose to testify in Japanese, along with first-hand accounts of internees from Terminal Island. Mental health professionals, educators, and members from various organizations also share the impact that internment has on intergenerational trauma, and demand constitutional remedy through redress and reparations.

August 5th, 1981 was the second day of the CWRIC Los Angeles hearings, consisting of testimonies from Japanese American veterans, many of whom were drafted for World War II as a way of avoiding internment. Other testifiers experienced economic loss, psychological trauma, and discrimination in schools. This violation of basic civil and human rights due to Executive Order 9066 fueled the growing demand for Redress and Reparations.
