Found via a tweet from Michael Ian Black, who's been cheering on resistance from the Park Service:

On the day Trump is set to announce Muslim ban, Death Valley National Park recounting stories of Japanese internment.

Here's the tweet from Death Valley NP:

1. My photo of Manzanar from October 2013

Ironically, the Manzanar National Historic Site was closed the day I was there in October 2013, because of the US Government shutdown. I got this shot from outside the fence, with the majestic Sierra Nevada range in the background.

So I drove on to Death Valley National Park. It was closed too, but I knew I could slip into some of my favorite photo spots at DV.

Kudos to the good people at the Death Valley National Park, and to Michael Ian Black, for speaking truth to irrational power.

5. I drive past Manzanar several times a year

going between L.A. and Reno.

The last time I did was in November. I half-jokingly said that I expected that any day they would be putting up a sign outside proclaiming "Under New Management."

I wouldn't be surprised to see it the next time, and they won't be joking.

6. I love the NPS!

Great photo -- it's heart-wrenching to think of all the suffering that went on in that valley.

8. FDR legacy should be forever tarnished by this despicable act

So many people I know only want to talk about how great Social Security and Unions were and gloss right over the Japanese Internment.
