A quick aside: The presidential proclamation (declaration? statute?) which allowed the detention back in 1942 remained active until the Ford presidency, well into the 1970's. And let us not forget that a number of Aleutian islanders were similarly detained, though not in as large numbers as the Japanese Americans were. Among those to be remembered for their part in WWII are those Japanese Americans who fought in the 100th Battalion and the 442nd Infantry Regiment in Italy and eastern France as well as those who fought in the Pacific as interpreters. Many of them were recruited from the very detention camps in which they were incarcerated. One of Ansel Adam's enduring (but little known) photographs is that of a Medal of Honor taken at Manzanar, a detention camp in the eastern Sierras, awarded to such a person.
