Description
Hirose discusses what is blue stone and his experience in court. He shares his interment camp and military service experiences to the Judge. Hirose is only fined a small fee and is place on probation.
Hirose recalls his Father wanting to make a future in the United States and his Mother wanting to visit Japan. When Japan invades China, Hirose participates in making care packages for the Japanese soldiers. He says he did this because of his Japanese heritage.
He remembers days after the Pearl Harbor attack. On December 24 Japan torpedoes a lumber ship. Hirose says the majority of the Japanese Americans at Manzanar Concentration Camp are from Terminal Island. Looking back, Hirose remembers facing discrimination during his school years.
