More than 10,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated at Manzanar Relocation Center, Calif., during World War II. Playing and watching baseball was one of the ways these Americans tried to retain some sense of normalcy. Dan Kwong is a longtime volunteer at Manzanar, which became a national historic site in 1992 — his late mother, Momo Nagano, was incarcerated there as a teenager. Here's the story of how he built a baseball field at the site in honor of Momo, who wrote extensively about her time at the camp in order that future generations would never forget this piece of history.

History of the #Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit #removed from #Army #website

The history of the 442nd #RegimentalCombatTeam has been removed from the U.S. Army’s official website.

The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the #most #decorated #combat #unit in #history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation #JapaneseAmericans.

Eight Things You Can Do to Stop #ICE

2025-02-11, via #CrimethInc

"The #Trump administration is paving the way for #MassDeportations by building new #PrisonCamps and invoking the #AlienEnemiesAct, which was used to justify the internment of #JapaneseAmericans during World War II. Motivated by nativism and white nationalism, Steven Miller and other officials are attempting to ethnically cleanse the United States, while tech and prison companies profit on lucrative government contracts and corporations continue to exploit immigrant labor. Knowing that mass deportations will inflict devastating costs, Trump has chiefly been concentrating his efforts in cities like Chicago and Denver that are governed by his political adversaries.

"Nonetheless, people are getting organized. Communities across the US are mobilizing rapid response networks that can respond to raids and support those targeted by #StateViolence. Students across the US are staging #walkouts; people are holding mass #demonstrations and fighting back against deportations.

"If we fail to stand in solidarity with those targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today, the same infrastructure of repression will eventually be turned against others, as well. An injury to one is an injury to all!

"Do your part to melt the ICE."

"The Japanese-American internment is now broadly recognized as an American travesty, a horrible mistake made under the duress of wartime that in fact deeply betrayed core American values regarding citizenship and civil rights, not to mention basic decency."

Continued thread

"The last time America built concentration camps to hold a hated and feared minority—in 1941-42, when we rounded up all Japanese-Americans on the West Coast and herded them into 'relocation centers'—it did not work out well. Things will not be any different this time."
