"Last month, hundreds of people began converging on the Manzanar National Historic Site for the opening April 24 [2004] of a $5.1 million interpretive center in the old Manzanar gym. The center commemorates what many consider to be a shameful chapter in American history--the internment of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry during World War II." (CONTRA COSTA TIMES) This article presents information about the Manzanar National Historic Site in Manzanar, California, and relates the history of the internment camp.
