It was the Day of Remembrance, and Pri wanted to be alone at the memorial. She was thinking about the injustice that occurred to her Japanese family. In one moment, they had a decent business that just made it through the Depression. The next, they were on a train heading to an assembly camp before being shipped out to Manzanar. The stories of the cold and the dust that entered the barracks, the thought of betrayal from their country just for being who they were. It's too much to think about. Especially for a soft soul like Pri. So, she sits there shivering, just wondering why. "Why us? Will something like this happen again?" The only she can do was pray for the best.
As much as I love my area, I can't ignore the dark history that surrounds it. Especially if it left a mark on the many cultures in the Central Valley. And with a day like this, I had to make a story around it. So I made one about Pri due to her Japanese heritage. It's my way to address this injustice. Please comment!!!!!Art©KCFoxStudios

Back in the 1970s, I worked with a woman who grew up at Manzanar. She was 12 when the camp closed in '45 and everyone was sent on their way. She said that after those four years, she could tolerate any heat or cold, but she couldn't stand to live close to anyone until she married.
The Day of Remembrance is a holiday in California that commemorates the incarceration of Japanese-Americans in internment camps during WWII.
Based on the date the internment order went out: February 19th, 1942.

Last year I read the graphic novel They Called Us Enemy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Called_Us_Enemy
It's about actor George Takei's memories of being interned as a child, and related events in his life after release from the camps.
