History you — and I — didn’t know

...about the internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII.

A nation held captive by a million-and-one lies, omissions, and distortions may find itself perpetually self-flagellating over its past. That certainly is the case today in America where every issue from slavery to responses to terrorism are presented to the public as proof of some uniquely evil attribute of Americans.

There's plenty of past behavior worthy of critique, disdain, and horror in America's closet but objective analysis makes for a more reasoned appraisal of actual events.

The informative link above doesn't cause justification for the events in WWII regarding Japanese-American citizens but it does remind us that history as currently taught may be lacking in some context.
