OTD in 1942: The Manzanar Riot. Rumors of informants, rising resentment, and the arrest of a beloved kitchen worker pushed the camp past its breaking point. Military police opened fire. Two men died. quietamericans.com/manzanar-riot #Manzanar #AAPIHistory #QuietAmericans

Nov. 21, 1945 marks 80 yrs since Manzanar closed. As thousands of Japanese Americans left the camp, many returned to communities that had taken their homes, businesses, and security. We recommit ourselves to protecting civil liberties-especially in times of fear. #AAPIHistory
In 1906, San Francisco tried to force Japanese American children into a segregated school. They said it was to protect white students. Today, we call it what it was. Learn more: quietamericans.com/oriental-school #QuietAmericans #OnThisDay #AAPIHistory #JapaneseAmericanHistory…

Robert A. Nakamura — born July 5, 1936 — was the “godfather of Asian American media.” A son of incarcerees, he helped define AAPI identity on screen with films like Manzanar (1972). He passed away on June 11, 2025. May he rest in peace. #RobertNakamura #AAPIHistory #Manzanar
