He and his wife had found their dream house in a Virginia suburb of Washington, D. C. , but could not lawfully live together in that state: he was black and she was Asian. Fortunately for the Marshalls, in January 1967 the Supreme Court struck down the anti-interracial-marriage la...

United States Government Atomic Bomb
263 wordsWas it really fair to take peoples rights away from them, throw them into camps that were not adequate, and not give them their rights? To top it all off it was unconstitutional. Well lets look at it from a standpoint of The United States National Government. It was a possible security risk of having Japanese and Japanese Americans in the United States at that time. The Americans didnt know if what happen to Pearl Harbor could happen to any where else in the U. S. at that time. If you look at wh...

Japanese Americans Traditional Japanese
833 wordsEven with all the mental anguish and struggle, an elemental instinct bound us to this soil. Here we were born; here we wanted to live. We had tasted of its freedom and learned of its brave hopes for democracy. It was too late, much too late for us to turn back. (Sone 124). This statement is key to understanding much of the novel, Nisei Daughter, written by Monica Sone. From one perspective, this novel is an autobiographical account of a Japanese American girl and the ways in which she constructe...

Snow Falling On Cedars Japanese Americans
333 wordsSnow Falling On Cedars During the dark days of World War II, our government made a decision, based on prejudice and fear, to intern Japanese Americans. These interment camps were largely based in the Northwest. Hardworking citizens were forcibly taken from their jobs and homes and held against their will. It is a part of our history that we are now ashamed of and rightfully so. I did not study this disgraceful episode as a high school student in the late sixties. My first encounter with this sub...

U S Government United States Government
1,023 wordsIf the United States government were to support the reparations to the descendents of African American slaves it would be an admitting of their responsibility. This is an issue that the United States government does not want to bring back to the forefront.

What is done is done, and bringing up possibilities of any type of reparation would stir up a negative outlook on government...
