The Foundation's ongoing efforts to teach the lessons embodied
by the historical site represent a collaboration between citizens of
Wyoming, scholars, former internees and their descendants, and
interested supporters from throughout the United States. Together,
we are working to build a world-class facility that will become a
center for education, policy, and research on the internment experience.
(Ficklin Media Note:As a general question, I have heard various
explanations about why Japanese American were sent to internment
camps and why German Americans and Italian Americans were not
during World War 2. Part of my brain can digest the explanations
but there still a large part of my body-politic brain that rejects
and throws up when presented with various "answers.")
