This article employs a case study approach in describing the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, U.S. congressional legislation which granted a national apology and $20,000 to each ethnic Japanese incarcerated by the federal government during World War II. It is concluded that the "John Kingdon model" of the legislative policy making process provides an effective academic framework for exploring the interaction of Congress, the JACL national interest group, and grass-roots activists in Sacramento, California. Primary sources of data consisted of interviews representing congressional, national interest group, and grass-roots activist perspectives. U.S. government documents also were utilized. The article examines the development of the Japanese American Redress Movement at both the national and Sacramento levels.
