A Librarian Who Tried to Make a Difference
by TChris
This is a sad anniversary:
On this day - Feb. 19 - in 1942, two months after Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an executive order clearing the way for some 120,000 U.S. residents of Japanese descent to be evicted from their homes and imprisoned.
The linked story tells how a librarian, Clara Breed, did what she could to help.
