More Manzanar Portraits
I love the faces of these Japanese Americans and the many lives, hopes, and dreams which they represented. They didn't choose this time or this place in their lives, yet their spirit triumphed over it all. For some, bitterness and resentment followed them the rest of their lives and robbed them of their youth, their health, and their families. For others, their willingness to forgive, in spite of the scars, allowed the Spirit of God to prosper them and restore what fear had robbed them of.
These are some of the true heroes of a fearful time in our country. They, along with the many men and women who served and died for their country are the ones to be remembered. Those who spread fear and imprisonment will ultimately be long forgotten, but the faces of these who represented real freedom will live on in the heart of God and in the hearts of men and women for all time.
