At age 4, I was classified as 4c, enemy alien, even though I was born in the U.S. Within a few months, the internment of our community was ordered by FDR with broad support from the American people, who turned their backs upon us. We lost our homes, our businesses and our freedoms. (2/4)

@georgetakei Thank you for sharing. I was given a very "white washed"/glossed over version of what happened in school. Its sad when you learn how it actually impacted people.
