 The Story of the Japanese Internment
Imagine living in a world were you were judged passed on
what you looked like or your heritage. Looking around the
media portrayed you as someone whose intent was to further
harm America. People would walk to the other side of the
street as you and your family approach. Then, all of a sudden
you were forced to give up everything that connected you to
your heritage and who you are. Subsequently, you and your
family are in an internment camp with thousands of others.
