Japanese American Internees, Then and Now

"Kitagki located former Boy Scouts Junzo Jake Ohara, Takeshi Motoyasu, and Eddie Tetsuji Kato, who had been photographed during a morning flag raising ceremony at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming. "I didn't feel anything until later on," said Ohara, who later became a pharmacist. "I got kind of angry, because of all the experiences that we went through, the losses, not for myself but for the parents and the older guys that had already graduated high school. You start to think about those guys." After Takeshi returned home, he became an electrical engineer. "I think for us young guys it was not too bad," he said. "They fed you, they clothed you. It's just the persecution from you being the enemy, that's the only thing that would bother you."

Farmers use tires to write a message to French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, saying, 'Valls, we are waiting for you,' on the highway between Paris and Lyon in central France, Thursday. Angry French farmers have blocked the famed Mont Saint Michel causeway and highways leading to the Alps, hoping to get more government help for their industry whose profits they say are being chipped away by cheap imports and pressure from grocery chains. Thursday’s protests were a rejection of the government offer to back loans to the farmers and delay tax payments as part of a €600 million plan. Vincent Dargent/AP

A boy carries a dog after a Peruvian police operation to destroy illegal gold-mining camps in a zone known as Mega 14, in the southern Amazon region of Madre de Dios on July 14, 2015. Peruvian police razed dozens of illegal gold-mining camps at the edge of an Amazonian nature reserve this week, part of a renewed bid to halt the spread of wildcatting in a remote rainforest region. The stings at the edge of the Tambopata National Reserve were the first in the southeastern region of Madre de Dios since a crackdown let up in December. Production from wildcat miners in the region, who sell their ore up the supply chain, made up about 10 percent of national production before President Ollanta Humala launched the harshest crackdown yet on illegal gold mining last year. #
