After moving to Boston, I began to enjoy the pleasure of reading again. It has been a long time not to read books in the past of busy daily life. Two weeks ago, I borrowed this book from the library in town and really understood the injustice for Japanese Americans (Nikkei) in the 1940s.
The Book Cover: Japanese American Kids Behind Barbed Wire
I know the racial issues, such as stopping Asian hate and Balck lives matters but never thought of the similar events that happened during WW II. This is also my first to know “The Pledge of Allegiance”, which is also read in my daughter’s junior high. The government did something wrong and finally apologized for the past. Although it takes some time (apology letter signed by George H. W. Bush, 1990), the wrongdoing is acknowledged and history is always remembered. I really enjoy reading!
