45 years ago, Feb 19 1979, about 700 people, mostly Japanese-American, gathered at Tanforan Park Shopping Center in San Bruno for a Day of Remembrance, commemorating the survivors of the Japanese internment camp which stood on the site in 1942
The action was planned by the Tanforan Committee, who organized car caravans from San Francisco, and was coordinated with similar actions across the West Coast. One speaker recalled interment at Tanforan as “just like a bad dream” https://t.co/h5O2HiTPSz
