"Wanto Co. was a store selling groceries and Japanese goods, made famous by a Dorothea Lange photo showing a large sign reading "I AM AN AMERICAN."

The store was at 401 & 403 - 8th Street, at the corner of Franklin Street. The store appears in directories from at least 1924 to 1941. The building has since been razed. In its place is the 1989 Phoenix Plaza mixed-use development, with a Chase bank branch on the ground floor of that corner. (For reasons unknown, some references erroneously place the location at 13th St. x Franklin St.)"

Maggie Tokuda-Hall, the author of the children's book "Love in the Library" which is based on the love that her grandparents found while wrongfully incarcerated in an internment camp during WWI, refused to remove a parts of a note suggesting that what happened to her grandparents was based on racisim and how this story is relevant to similar acts of racism now, in order to secure a licensing agreement (a big deal $wise) w/the publisher Scholastic Books.

Good for her!!! 🥳

On 24 January 1919, staff and patients barricaded themselves inside the Monaghan Lunatic Asylum in #Ireland and declared a soviet (workers' council): https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9650/When-the-lunatics-ran-the-asylum via @workingclasshistory #history #internment #committal #work #mentalHealth

"Green" sure is an excuse for a lot of regressive nonsense from the same people with the same motivations.

As these projects continue to pop up with clear colonial motives, this latest wind farm near an internment camp is joining the lithium mine on sacred Indigenous land.

We need to seek "alternatives" to a death culture at the controls of history and development.

Today in 1942, the Canadian government announces Japanese-Canadians in British Columbia will be moved for national security even though most Canadians, the RCN & RCMP did not believe Japanese-Canadians were a threat
In all, 27,000 people are relocated.

JFC, the #GOP is just a step away from trying to justify the return of WW2 #internment camps for #AsianAmericans. This is beyond #racism or #xenophobia , it's lunacy.

Guard Tower, Manzanar Internment Camp, Inyo County, California #Manzanar #blackandwhite #internment #photography #landscape

Just caught some of @georgetakei on Zoë Ball's Radio 2 breakfast show.

So incredibly moving; I'll be catching up on #BBCSounds later.

Sasanqua camellia (Camellia sasanqua) bloom, Manzanar Interment Camp, Inyo County, California. Manzanar is a bleak place. Yet the inmates did what they could to bring at least a sense of beauty to it. Native to Japan and China and not the high desert this place really is in, it was planted by the people forced here. When we give into our worst impulses and xenophobia we get this national disgrace . #nature #photography #Manzanar #internment #NaturePhotography #flower #flora #flowers

I came upon this article during the era of #Internment camps for #JapaneseAmericans. One teen believed in #SocialJustice so much that he volunteered to go to an internment camp to be with his friends.

He made an autobiographical movie called "To Be Takei." I was lucky enough to see the screening with Q&A in Los Angeles.

@georgetakei TIL there were also WWII #internment camps in the #UK, although treatment of internees wasn't as universally harsh as it was in the US: https://dirkdeklein.net/2018/02/17/wwii-internment-camps-in-britain/

visited #JANM in LA. my family was taken from their farm in Petaluma, CA to Amache, CO. FDR was a democrat and signed EO 9066, even though the report stated there was "no military necessity" to do so. #japaneseamerican #internment
