Recreation area at the Tanforan Assembly Center
Did you know that the site of the Tanforan mall in San Bruno also used to be a Japanese internment camp?
I didn't either.
That mall sucked anyway.
Anyway, today at the mall, internees and their children (some of them born at the Tanforan site during the internment period) held a reunion to hold testimony about their pasts and remind current generations "of the injustices that the internees experienced."
Thanks to the good folks at SFist for the heads up.

Which was one reason why I never shopped there. However, I believe they did erect a memorial at the mall's renovation in addition to a towering statue of Seabiscuit.
