Resilience: Only What You Can Carry

On today’s episode of Resilience: The Wartime Incarceration of Japanese Americans, Sharon talks about the military’s limitations on “enemy aliens” both before and after President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans were forced to scramble. They didn’t know the specifics of what was coming next, but they knew that everything was changing rapidly. Military police flooded into West Coast cities, curfews were enacted and enforced, businesses were forced to close indefinitely, and families were told to start packing up only what they could carry with them. Joining us today is Professor Lorraine Bannai and author Kimi Cunningham Grant who reads from Silver Like Dust. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
