Farewell to Manzanar Resources

We can't forget about Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's co-author for the book—her husband, writer James D. Houston.

This site is kind of the end-all-be-all of history websites on U.S. history in general—a really thorough look at Japanese-American internment.

This site is technically for teachers, but it has a treasure trove of original documents and materials from internment that you might like to check out.

You know your teachers are drooling over this one—it's the perfect thing to show on one of those in-class movie days. Educational, historical, and clocking in at a perfect 120 minutes.

No one knows what it's like to make a film about Japanese American internment better than the actors and the director. Or how to take a little film and turn it into a DVD for wide release. Read all about the struggle.

Japanese-Americans weren't about to let the nation forget what happened, and they sued for redress. Here's the actual bill.

"Being 'American' is not a question of race, tribe, or physical attributes." Word.

If you've got an hour and a half of free time, you can hear the author talk (in two parts) all about her book and camp life.

If there's an American historical event, you know that there's also a Ken Burns-PBS documentary about it—and Manzanar is no exception.

What does Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston have in common with other American woman writers? Sit back (and we mean far back—this is a long one) and find out.

Hear all about the mess halls from one of the authors—Jeanne herself.
