Down in the Arkansas Delta, about 40 miles from anywhere, there's lots of soybean fields. In one particular field, which you wouldn't even notice if you weren't looking for it, there is a small grove of trees.
If you walk around the perimeter, you'll find little speaker boxes along the way. When you activate each one, you'll hear the voice of none other than George Takei talking about the place you're standing in. It's the site of the Rohwer internment camp where thousands of Americans, including Takei, were shipped in by rail and held prisoner during WWII for no other reason than they were of Japanese descent.
There's no sign of an internment camp there now. The only remains are monuments the prisoners built to their friends and family members who were killed fighting for the Allies.
Some people are stupid or naive enough to believe that the United States can do no wrong. Some are even arrogant enough to think that admitting we were wrong is "unpatriotic". Yet, like every empire that has ever existed, the US has committed many wrongs. History cannot be erased, undone, or whitewashed, despite the pathetic attempts of sad despots. And if we choose not to learn from it, we will soon repeat it.
a field of soybeans that will go bad since tbe farmers have no one to sell them to...
places like missouri and mississipi still have some form of segregation: mostly affluent whites near black areas.
