On 80th Anniversary, Camp Amache Families Remembered and Honored by US Sectary of Interior Deb Haaland

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, right, gestures while speaking with Dr. Robert Fuchigami--Professor Emeritus, Sonoma State University--during a visit to the Camp Amache National Historic Site outside Granada, Colorado, Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022. More than 7,000 Japanese Americans, including Fuchigami, were forcibly incarcerated at this camp during World War II. The visit coincides with the 80th anniversary of the federal order establishing Amache as a "relocation center" for American citizens--and just days after the Senate cleared the way for a bill that would make Camp Amache a part of the National Park System.
