Omaha Chapter History:
A number of Issei and Nisei families resided in the Omaha area prior to World War II immigrating between 1915 and 1940, and settling mainly in the town of South Omaha. After World War II, many other Issei and Nisei families moved to the Omaha area from the internment camps as a result of war relocation programs. Flanagan of Boys Town arranged for several families to join h

is staff at Boys Town in the latter part of 1942. With the assistance of the local War Relocation Authority (WRA) staff, the early evacuees organized an Omaha Reception Committee in 1943 and had an active social organization to take care of the social needs of new families coming from the camps. Some members of the newly relocated families had been active members of JACL in their communities before the war. With the assistance of the JACL regional office in Denver and the national JACL office in Salt Lake City, a campaign was launched to form a new chapter in Omaha. On June 28, 1947, the charter for the activation of the Omaha chapter was issued at Salt Lake City, Utah, which was then the national headquarters of the JACL.
