Japanese Interment Camps in America
The internment of Japanese Americans began after President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942. For the following three years, American men, women, and children were forced to live under prison-like conditions in remote concentration camps.
George Takei introduces this reading of Baseball Saved Us. This first person narrative tells the true story of a young Japanese-American boy who found baseball as a refuge from the injustice and humiliation of the interment camp called Minidoka in Idaho.
This 1943 film explains the internment from the U.S. government's perspective. #HistoryChannel #Flashback
