The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

70th Anniversary of Japanese Internment in 2012-- Part 2

At least the United States learned from this internment. Nothing like it happened to Muslims in America after 9-11. //// This 70th anniversary was marked in the San Francisco Bay area. with art exhibits, online photographs, displays and a "Day of remembrance" event. //// The art exhibit features art done by the internees at the Topaz War Relocation Center. The San Jose Morning News had 60 photos of the camps online, some of the photos by Dorothea Lange. San Francisco had a Day of Remembrance on February 19th. //// --GreGen
