一日の画像 - Picture of the Day
While many people know the famous American born Nisei actor George Takei who played Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek, many people still do not know that during his childhood his entire family was forcibly interned in Rohwer prison camp (An AMERICAN Concentration Camp) deep in the swamps of southeast Arkansas. And why was this? Simply because they looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. "My friends at Arkansas State University are working hard to make sure history is not forgotten. They just launched a wonderful website on Rohwer; I'm honored to provide an audio intro." Check it out here: Rohwer.astate.edu/
