The Sacramento Bee followed the group from the Florin chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League that came to the 39th Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage, held on Saturday, April 26, 2008, and they produced a video about their trip.
You can watch the three segments here (note: some of the video footage appears to be from the 38th Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage back on April 28, 2007):
Welcome to the Manzanar Committee’s official blog. Here you’ll find the latest news about the work of the Manzanar Committee, which has sponsored the annual Manzanar Pilgrimage since 1969.
This blog is also the place to post your thoughts about Manzanar—past, present and future. If you have an article, commentary piece, short story, poem, etc., about Manzanar, the Manzanar Pilgrimage, the Japanese American concentration camp experience, the Redress and Reparations movement, or anything closely-related, including the issues raised by the camp experience and their relevance to what’s happening today, please send it to us and we’ll put it up here on the blog (we do reserve the right to edit or reject any submission)!
We also encourage those of you who participate in the annual Manzanar At Dusk (MAD) program to send us your thoughts, ideas, questions—anything that the discussions during the MAD program might inspire you to write. We’ll put those up here as well so we can continue the dialogue (you can comment on any blog entry by clicking on the “comments” link at the end of each entry).
We look forward to your contributions and participation!
