Quote of the Month

"Sometimes America failed and suffered. ... Can we, the graduating class of Amache Senior High School, still believe that America means freedom, equality, security, and justice? Do I believe this? Do my classmates believe this? Yes, with all our hearts, because in that faith, in that hope, is my future, our future, and the world's future."

-- Marion Konishi Takehara, in a commencement speech written while imprisoned in 1943 at Amache, a World War II incarceration camp. Thanks to years of advocacy, the site may soon become part of the National Park System.
