What I’m Reading: Farewell to Manzanar – 34 in a series – “I both succeeded and failed.”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“AS I CAME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MANZANAR had meant, it gradually filled me with shame for being a person guilty of something enormous enough to deserve that kind of treatment. In order to please my accusers, I tried, for the first few years after our release, to become someone acceptable. I both succeeded and failed.”

From Farwell to Manzanar by by Jeanne Wakatsuki Housto and James D. Houston
