Description
The chief source of news interest at this time is the coming segregation of disloyal incarcerees. The camp selected to house the segregated persons, Tule Lake , was announced by Harvey Coverley, Director of the Project on July 25. The announcement was covered by AP, UP, and INS. An official announcement made the following day by Director Myer from Denver carried a four-point explanation of the selection of Tule Lake. (1) Size; (2) Adequate agricultural land is available for work opportunities and subsistence; (3) A large number of potential segregees are present in the Tule Lake population; (4) The camp lies at the edge of the evacuated area. AP and UP reports were carried by numerous scattered papers. The collection contains material used by Carey McWilliams in writing the book, Prejudice: Japanese Americans, symbol of racial intolerance (Little, Brown, 1944). It includes U.S. War Relocation Authority records, confidential reports, bibliographies, clippings and compilations of articles, legal papers, correspondence between McWilliams and Japanese American evacuees, relocation camp newspapers and other publications, two copies of his book, and five copies of the 1994 videocassette (40 min.), Something Strong Within.
