Manzanar
Submitted to Current: Breaking Stereotypes Sponsored by Current TV
Japanese Evacuation Camp during WWII, in Owens Valley, surrounded by the magnificent Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
Their cemetary marker
These camps caused much distress with the discrimination of the Japanese, and the government stereotyped them to being spies, enemies.
In the California In Every Sense photo essay.
