Two survivors — George Takei and Jo Anne Naka — recall living in the horse stables at the Santa Anita racetrack before they were moved to their incarceration camps.

Read THE AGE OF INCARCERATION to learn more about Japanese American incarceration from some of the last survivors of it.

Catch me at the Mahindra center next month! The first lecture in the series by Kendra Field was extraordinary. This will be ok. If you can't make it and want to hear about eugenic feminism and positive thinking, invite me to your spot.

Also @sarahebull.bsky.social seriously cool cart. I'm maybe jealous.

Look how happy we humanists are with so little. A mere cart to transport our books and puppets by. How came we to be so vilified?
