“Manzanar captures everything we need to be talking about. It crystallizes all of the issues that are tearing our country apart but also that formed our country. This is the foundation of this nation whether we like it or not. We have to make sure that we understand what has happened and what shouldn't happen again. It's an objective examination of fact. People have to to be vigilant and people have to be involved because if we're not it[democracy] can slip away very easily ”
