Tule Lake Segregation Center
from Asian American History 101 · host Gen & Ted Lai
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 8! February 19, 2022 marked 80 years since the signing of Executive Order 9066 that wrongly imprisoned over 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. Of the ten concentration camps that the U.S. government created (and referred to as relocation centers), Tule Lake was the most brutal. For our main segment, we talk about the history of the Tule Lake Segregation Center. We also take time to remember Christina Yuna Lee, another Asian American woman who was murdered in New York. We close out the episode with a segment of What Are You Reading? We talk about Journey of Heroes by Stacey Hayashi and illustrated by Damon Wong as well as They Called Us Enemy written by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, and Steven Scott and illustrated by Harmony Becker. Both are comic books that we highly recommend.
