“The ‘Four Prisons’ and the Movements of Liberations” by Glenn Omatsu strikes a bell to what is happening today in the United States of America. The 1960s and 70s in the USA were a time of politically motivated uprisings and protests from the masses. People of color were rioting against unjust occurrences and educating themselves about political propaganda. There was a period of what seemed like glazed over tranquility while America turned colorblind. However, after the recent presidential elections and the political unrest, we saw how there was a lot of closeted hatred that came out with the rise of a new president. A lot of racial crimes became aware to the public, but most astonishingly the victims of these crimes were not brought justice. The public becomes more and more knowledgeable of the wrongdoings happening in the US, especially actions that can harm the good of the citizens. Certain races are being targeted by the presidential regime, while others are being blatantly cruel in their treatments of minorities. Once again, we are seeing the uprising of political movements against this blunt targeted hatred. The tides are repeating in the same direction, while youths are fighting oppression and spreading enlightenment to many others internationally. We can forge strong bonds and help each other fight the hatred that is openly discouraging so many people of color.
Question: What ended the Japanese Internment camps?
