@ixi When we give into or allow xenophobia and hate we get Manzanar. I visited in 2021 and am still haunted by the whole experience. I simply could not shake the feeling of Evil that permeated that bleak place. The cemetery was particularly tough to witness In particular the marker for little Midori Furuya, Born in captivity August 12, 1943 and died in captivity August 14, 1943. #ExecutiveOrder9066 #WW2 #IncarcerationOfJapaneseAmericans #Manzanar

PSA - (Don’t know if I’ve said this recently; don’t care, either.)
IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO MANZANAR AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY - YOU NEED TO GO TO MANZAR.

Today is a really good day to remember that many American citizens lost everything, _everything_, only because of their genetic heritage. If you are an American citizen and you don’t know what I am talking about, I invite you to visit the Manzanar concentration camp.

Obelisk memorial and grave marker, Main Cemetery, Manzanar Internment Camp, California. One headstone really effected me

Haunting... Words matter. When we give in to fear and xenophobia and allow our worst instincts to take over we get Manzanar. I will not forget @georgetakei #desert #nature #NaturePhotography #OptOutside #outdoors #exploring #explore #Manzanar #disgrace #

@StillIRise1963 I learned about it from neighbors who had been affected. Made a trip to Manzanar to learn more and teach our children. I’ve said it before, that trip was one of the most important moments in my life. I keep the picture of the entrance as my banner wherever I go.

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

The haunting main cemetery at the Manzanar Internment Camp, North of Lone Pine, California. Japanese American citizens who had done nothing wrong were rounded up and placed in these camps during WWII. I had a hard time shaking off the evilness of this place. and in particular the grave of Midori Susan Furuya who was born in captivity and died a day later never knowing freedom. #TombTuesday #Manzanar #evil #Japanese @georgetakei
