As California native, learned this history - albeit too briefly - via public school systems in 1960s-1980s. Went to school with people whose parents experienced this, and my mother told stories at home of losing classmates in Los Angeles who were interred.

I thought I knew everything I wanted to know about the Japanese internment and delayed listening to this. I was absolutely wrong. I didn’t even know about Ralph Carr in my very own state. This podcast series is one of the best I have heard. Debt of gratitude for this!
This is such a fascinating and in depth look at the terrible internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
Fantastic pod. Well done Rachel. Fascinating and of course so timely.
