EGT Reads: We The People: A Story of Internment in America, read by Michelle Silveira
from EGT Reads · host Jennifer Ip
Our host Michelle Silveira reads excerpts from a book called "We The People: A Story of Internment In America," by Mary Tsukamoto and Elizabeth Pinkerton. This story is an autobiography about Mary Tsukamoto's experience at a Japanese internment camp. Tsukamoto has since passed away, but she used to live in Elk Grove and an elementary school was named after her in the Elk Grove-Florin area. While many are familiar with the Japanese internment camps, very few realize that such a dark part of American history affected residents of Elk Grove.
