The July 4, 1942 edition of the "Pinedale Logger," the newspaper written by inmates of the concentration camp in my hometown of Fresno, CA, describes a "Gala Fourth Festival" & features a masthead motto from Thomas Paine: "Tyranny, Like Hell, Is Not Easily Conquered."

The Pinedale camp was an "assembly center," where Japanese Americans from up and down the west coast were temporarily housed before being shipped to larger & more permanent camps for potentially infinite detention. The other Fresno camp was at the fairgrounds: inmates slept in the horse stalls.
