1
00:00:05,95 --> 00:00:12,60
I was thirty I was thirteen
years old when. The

2
00:00:12,61 --> 00:00:15,60
evacuation came there was

3
00:00:15,60 --> 00:00:21,77
a. Posting that was

4
00:00:23,13 --> 00:00:23,55
placed on

5
00:00:23,55 --> 00:00:30,22
a utility pole that said all Japanese all

6
00:00:30,22 --> 00:00:37,01
people of Japanese ancestry
and. The one that applied to

7
00:00:37,01 --> 00:00:43,27
was delineated the border
line of our district and the

8
00:00:46,25 --> 00:00:52,68
. It was dated May third one
thousand nine hundred forty two and

9
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,86
the date of the

10
00:01:01,60 --> 00:01:08,37
gathering at this site staging site

11
00:01:09,67 --> 00:01:14,87
was May ninth and

12
00:01:17,05 --> 00:01:23,66
. We had sold our

13
00:01:25,46 --> 00:01:31,90
story and we had moved to the Japanese
You Union Church on Sam Petero street

14
00:01:32,86 --> 00:01:38,97
and because we wanted to be

15
00:01:38,98 --> 00:01:45,95
incarcerated with our
church friends and so we we

16
00:01:45,95 --> 00:01:52,23
left from from the church and I think
that was the same day as when Kaz's

17
00:01:52,23 --> 00:01:57,73
was evacuated. You know.

18
00:02:01,25 --> 00:02:05,29
Yeah hi.

19
00:02:09,46 --> 00:02:16,24
Oh I want to mention the
fact that. Because of the

20
00:02:16,24 --> 00:02:23,19
riot the there was an
investigation and. They wanted to

21
00:02:23,94 --> 00:02:30,62
dig into all the facts
about. Why there was

22
00:02:30,62 --> 00:02:37,44
a riot. And during that
investigation that they found that

23
00:02:38,47 --> 00:02:44,39
the whites were stealing the meat and
butter and sugar all the ration items

24
00:02:46,44 --> 00:02:51,71
and stuffing it in their trunks of their
car and selling it on the black market.

25
00:02:52,12 --> 00:02:57,14
They also found that. We
were supposed to be getting

26
00:02:58,54 --> 00:03:05,27
a small allowance for essentials.

27
00:03:05,29 --> 00:03:12,08
And one of the nicest thing to happen was

28
00:03:12,08 --> 00:03:15,67
the elimination of every Monday

29
00:03:15,67 --> 00:03:22,55
a shakedown inspections. We know we no
longer had those and spec sions after that

30
00:03:22,55 --> 00:03:28,20
riot for months

31
00:03:31,79 --> 00:03:34,75
starting from May ninth
to early September.
