This was a true stain on the American government and is a piece of history that was never to taught to me, as an east coast kid. I finally learned about this when I was a teacher and had my students read Farewell to Manzanar. And now our lack of historic knowledge is leading to a replication of the horror, just with another people group. Shame on America.
Thank you for sharing this important piece of our American history. It was a time of panic and fear that led to the vile discrimination against members of our communities. A difficult and painful lesson that should be remembered especially with the attitudes towards and actions against all immigrants today.
This is from the National Archives. Hopefully THIS information will not be scrubbed from our history!

Terrible deed that was done, as well as other major "missteps" this country has made.
Thank you, Jay Kuo! See you on the StatusKuo...
It remains today, a stain on US civil liberties, history, social, emotional and educational truths.
