Japanese Internment
Teresa Watanabe’s excellent article “A Lifelong Lesson in Justice” (Feb. 5) tells the story of white teachers in World War II internment camps for Japanese Americans. I hope more Americans will learn about the terrible injustice that our country perpetuated on persons of Japanese ancestry -- immigrants and U.S. citizens alike -- during World War II. When I attended high school in the L.A. Unified School District in the 1960s, the internment camps were not even mentioned in our history textbooks.
