Comments
“Two of the Japanese men that I interviewed told
me that they had to take the school bus to school in
Porterville, CA, and that there was a sign when you
entered town that said ‘No Japs Allowed’. They hated
having to go by that sign. The librarian in Porterville
told me the same thing when I did some archival
research in the area. I’ve seen a picture of the sign.”
