[ Ссылка ] - One hundred years ago there were three Americans of Japanese descent living in New Mexico; today there are 1,500.
New Mexico PBS outlines the Japanese American experience in New Mexico, from World War II when they imprisoned throughout the southwest to their present migration into the area.
Americans of Japanese descent have like other Americans contributed to the defense of our country by fighting in our wars and working to uphold democracy. Yet, during the years of the Second World War Japanese Americans were taken from their homes to concentration camps under suspicion of espionage.
Not one of these Americans, for they were Americans, was ever shown to be guilty of treason.
