 h\n\nJohn Nakada was born to Japanese-American parents in California in 19
 31. He spent his early life with his family on farms in Southern Californi
 a\, until the time his life changed dramatically: December 7\, 1941. After
  the bombing of Pearl Harbor on that day\, John and other Japanese-America
 n children experienced ostracism at school. A year later\, in 1942\, he an
 d his family were told to pack their suitcases and prepare for relocation 
 to the Pomona Assembly Center\, where he and his family were held for six 
 months. They were then transferred to &ldquo\;relocation camps&rdquo\; in 
 Wyoming\, then Arizona.\n\nAfter roughly two years away from home\, his fa
 mily was returned to their farm in Azusa\, California - possibly because t
 hey had six sons serving in the US Army.\n\nJohn Nakada is now involved wi
 th the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center and frequently gives lectures about the
  Japanese-American experience of internment during the 1940s.\n\nSource:&n
