Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“At the back of her mind, she probably considered the many pitfalls in my grandfather’s plan. First, would they ever be allowed to leave Heart Mountain? Wasn’t he getting ahead of himself?

From  Silver Like Dust by Kimi Cunningham Grant

What I'm Reading: Those were hakujin beaches. Whites-only beaches.
