LAD/Blog #35: Home was a Horse Stall

After Pearl Harbor,  tensions in the US were high between the Japanese Americans and Americans.  Executive order 9066 was placed by Roosevelt to establish camps for the Japanese. Yumi expressed how horrible it was that she was stuck in between this because she was a Japanese immigrant. She had children and they were both taken away, and she notes that her new home was a horse stall. They were American citizens who were treated with no respect. But later on they tried to repair this by passing the Civil Liberties Act, trying to compensate for the horrible treatment of Japanese-Americans.
