Explanation:

October 11, 1906, was the day the San Francisco Board of Education tried to compel over 93 Japanese students who were attending schools in the area to join the segregated Chinese school. Asiatic Exclusion League in California were the ones behind the actions taken by the school board and the league had the intention of stopping Japanese immigration to California.

Different protests from Japanese Americans and the Japanese government made President Theodore Roosevelt to intervene On October 26, 1906. He opposed the decision made by the school board and addressed the people behind such ugly acts to be uncivilized.
