Japanese-Americans Were Relocated To Internment Camps
After Pearl Harbor, the American military placed restrictions on Japanese-Americans. They were forced into internment camps, which were nothing more than glorified prisons. The truth was that there was no reason for the military to do such a thing since the civilians posed no threats. Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga talked about her experience in one near Death Valley. “The only thing that was in the ‘apartments’ when we got there were army metal beds with the springs on it, and a potbellied stove in the middle of the room. That was the only thing. No chest of drawers, no nothing, no curtains on the windows. It was the barest of the bare,” she said. How awful. This photo of Japanese-American students was taken in 1942.
Lyndon B. Johnson Was Sworn Into Office Aboard Air Force One
When John F. Kennedy was assassinated, the United States had no president for around an hour and a half. As the whole country was in a state of confusion and chaos, VPOTUS Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn into office aboard Air Force One while it was parked at Love Field in Dallas. On his left, you will find First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson. FBI agents and his new cabinet members look on. The facial expressions they were all wearing show us how much anxiety and tension had been in the air.
