Posted @withregram • @slcjapantown Our current focus and initiative is the “Revitalization of Salt Lake City’s Historic Japantown” petition. The purpose of the petition is to raise awareness of the Japanese American community’s desire to be included in the planning process and receive funding from SB 272, the “Capital City Revitalization Zone”.With the NHL coming to the Delta Center, a .5% sales tax will be implemented in Salt Lake City, which will go to the renovation of the sports arena and up 100 acres surrounding it to develop an entertainment district. Historic Japantown Street is within that area, and this is our effort to ensure history does not repeat itself again, as it did 60 years ago when the Salt Palace Convention Center was built.Please be our ally and advocate in this pivotal time.Visit the link in our bio to sign! @slcjapantown ...

"This report provides an overview of the tangible remains currently left at the sites of the Japanese American internment during World War II. The main focus is on the War Relocation Authority's relocation centers, but Department of Justice and U.S. Army facilities where Japanese Americans were interned are also considered. The goal of the study has been to provide information for the National Landmark Theme Study called for in the Manzanar National Historic Site enabling legislation. Archival research, field visits, and interviews with former internees provide preliminary documentation about the architectural remnants, the archeological features, and the artifacts remaining at the sites. The degree of preservation varies tremendously. At some locations, modern development has obscured many traces of the World War H-era buildings and features. At a few sites, relocation center buildings still stand, and some are still in use. Overall the physical remains at all the sites are evocative of this very significant, if shameful, episode in U.S. history, and all appear to merit National Register of Historic Places or National Historic Landmark status." ...
