 Tule Lake is under threat AGAIN. The Federal Aviation Administration and Modoc County are attempting to construct a massive 3 mile long, 8-10 foot high security fence on the land where more than 27,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned during WWII at the Tule Lake concentration camp and Segregation Center.
Our friends at the Tule Lake Committee and citizens all across the nation told the FAA and Modoc County the only way to mitigate damage to the concentration camp site is by NOT building the fence. Ask for a feasibility study that will examine moving an airfield that is an inherently destructive and incompatible use for a concentration camp, an irreplaceable historic civil rights site that cannot be moved. We will keep you updated on this very important issue in future news postings to come. Comments are closed.
