Farming behind barbed wire at Tule Lake

Hosted by

President Trump's proposed Muslim registry and moves to restrict travel from Muslim-majority countries have sparked a ton of opposition. One particularly vocal group has been Japanese-Americans. On a visit to the Tule Lake Segregation Center near the California-Oregon border, contributor Lisa Morehouse reports on the major role that compulsory farming played in the day-to-day lives of interned Japanese-Americans. Listeners in LA might also want to visit a new exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum, Instructions to All Persons: Reflections on Executive Order 9066.
