A couple of weeks ago I gave an illustrated talk at the National Archives about my book Colors of Confinement: Rare Kodachrome Photographs of Japanese American Incarceration in World War II. I thought it went unusually well, so thought I'd post it here.
It's the first time I've ever had simultaneous sign language translation, and I can say with confidence that the talk looks prettier than it sounds.

A shameful period in American history, when a lot of innocent people were wrongfully punished because of the paranoid fear that a few of them may have wanted to do harm.
Like Alfred's, a pertinent post this week.

Comparing the events of the past week or so to Japanese internment. Possibly one of the more offensive comparisons I've come across.

Yes, Anon, even by the recent discourse standards on this blog, Ganger's analogy is a doozie.
