Today in Labor History May 2, 1945: The Nisei 522nd Field Artillery Battalion halted a death march from Dachau to Austria just days after liberating the Dachau concentration camp, when they freed over 3,000 prisoners. By halting the death march, the Japanese-American fighting unit saved hundreds of lives. Yet, even while they fought fascists in Europe, many had families in concentration camps within the U.S. 33,000 Japanese Americans fought for the U.S. during World War II, of which 800 were killed in action

Just finished the Rachel Maddow presents: Burn Order podcast. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I promise you’ll learn something about history, you’ll see current parallels, and you’ll be inspired to act. (And Canadians…we share this shameful history too.)

Victoria Namkung: tRump’s #Ice raids recall a painful past for these Americans: ‘I see myself in those children’. Survivors of previous eras of xenophobia say the harms done have lasted generations – and what’s happening now threatens to do the same.

Saw this while touring San Juan Capistrano today and thought of you because my wife and I saw Allegiance and it left an impression we won't forget.

The Ito family was interned at Manzanar.
