Quote of the Month

"Asians in America, including some of the most vulnerable, are still discriminated against, treated as invisible and suffer from hate crimes to this day. Designating Amache a national park site would shine a light on our forgotten history and help tell a more complete story of America."

-- Bob Fuchigami, a survivor of Amache, a World War II incarceration camp in Colorado. Later this month, he and others will commemorate the Day of Remembrance, the 80th anniversary of the presidential order creating these unjust imprisonment sites.
