Several legislators representing Colorado traveled to Granada on Saturday to mark a day of remembrance.
They joined Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland at the site where they got a tour. Eighty years ago on Feb. 19, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an order for the imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II., was established in Granada. Now, what was initially called the “Grenada Relocation Center” but known by many as the Amache Camp is expected to be a national historic site.
About 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes in the 1940s, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Two-thirds of them were U.S. citizens. About 7,500 ended up at Amache.“My brother was called a liar by his teacher when he brought up the prison camps, and he came home and told my parents and they just went through the roof.”
“I remember my father talking about that their dream was that one day the National Park Service would help.”“If we’re really to grow as a country we have to face our demons and we have to be willing to feel things that we aren’t willing to feel, and to think about things we don’t want to think about.”
Their bill folds Camp Amache into the National Parks System, making it eligible for funding to help with a restoration that, until now, volunteers have done with donations.
