❝ In 1942, Bill Manbo and his family were forced from their Hollywood home into the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, a Japanese American internment camp in Wyoming. While there, Manbo documented both the bleakness and beauty of his surroundings using Kodachrome film—a technology then just seven years old—to capture community celebrations and to record his family’s struggle to maintain a normal life under the harsh conditions of racial imprisonment.
We live in a nation cruel enough, racist, sufficiently ignorant to repeat both the crime and folly of concentration camps for Americans judged by their religion, ethnicity, whatever trips the trigger of bigotry.
I fear we may yet repeat this crime.
Reflecting on the Internet’s core question, I’d say both of the corporate parties have an equal shot at ignorant; but, the Republican Party really owns stupid.
