This could be observed throughout the site, and is evident in the slow decay of the wooden elements of the sentry post buildings. Internee, Ryozo Kado, a stonemason, built the sentry buildings and the Manzanar Cemetery Monument to endure the harsh desert climate and windstorms. Inside the buildings are hundreds of inscriptions that commemorate personal pilgrimages to the site, dates, messages and tributes. The site and its artifacts were also venerable to vandalism and the California State Historical Landmark plaque has had its bronze letters repeatedly cut off by a vandals axe. These attempts to alter the message are proof that racism still exists as part of the American ethos.

I had planned on signing up for 5th year, but no. It completely stinks. Perhaps if we all band together and start petitioning for the reinstitution of at least SOME of the classes, it might work. Or find money somewhere else - like the government. These are important international relations languages. What do you think? Theresa Hi -
