Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, over 125,000 citizens of Japanese descent were forcibly evacuated and incarcerated in “Relocation Centers” across the western US. Here, families sit with their baggage at a railroad station in Woodland, Ca. awaiting relocation. May 20, 1942. Photo by Dorothea Lange.

My grandpa lived in Sacramento, CA growing up. To this day still talks about his best friend having to move away because he was Japanese, and he never saw him again. It’s really sad to hear about.

"Ken didn't wanna lie

He said the US is looking for spies

So we're headed to a place called Manzanar

Where a lot of Japanese people are"
