Manzanar Baseball Project
An old friend of mine is spearheading this awesome project. Although the Japanese side of my family came to the US over post WW2 I have many friends, co-workers, in-laws, Nisei Athletic Union teammates, whose families or themselves were imprisoned in the camps. One friend was even born in the Tule Lake internment camp.

He also has a gofundme page but i feel awkward posting a solicitation for money. It’s easy enough to find by googling Manzanar Baseball if you’re inclined to donate.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
