I look forward to seeing this book in print.<br /><br />I remember in college that the US History 101 text did not mention the internment of Japanese Americans, and I was as horrified then as I am now. How we ensure this doesn't happen again, if we don't teach it to our children? Stories like this need to be told.

The other day I read a blog comment where someone asked why the founding fathers did not start us out as a country including Equality for ALL, rather than allowing slavery and lack of women's rights. Sure that would have been nice but they could hardly agree state-to-state what they believed inDebra E.

I was just saying the other day on Inkwell how I love the Harlem Renaissance so much. I like stories that make me feel and open my eyes and challenge me way more than sweet stories for escapism.<br /><br />I admit I don't know nearly enough about the plight of the Japenese Americans.

He does have a non-fiction book that I believe he co-authored with his wife.
