The Presidio's Exhibit "Exclusion: Japanese-American Incarceration"

Yesterday we celebrated Bill's birthday once again over lunch and at the exhibit of his choice--a very significant choice--the Presidio's exhibit "Exclusion--Japanese-American Incarceration." Tom Miyoko's mother, Kazue Yamaguchi, was among those incarcerated, and we found her name among thousands of others. It's in a binder as well as on the glass of windows displaying the names of all the 120,000 Japanese-Americans who were sent into internment camps. Notice the photo of people tagged as well as a document showing a better side of the nation--people in the community who testified to the loyalty of their Japanese-American neighbors so that they wouldn't be tagged and sent away from their homes.
