The Eastern Sierras are an unlikely place for one of the most thought-provoking sites of Japanese-American history. In the early 1940s, 10,000 people of Japanese ancestry living in American were interned here in barracks. Following Pearl Harbor and during WW2, tensions between the US and Japan intensified. People of Japanese heritage were ordered to live here under surveillance for fear of potential sabotage and espionage. #StopAsianHate
The area is remote and surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. We tour what is left of this area, which is now run by the National Parks Services. This chapter of history is a great reminder of how we can all do better.
