It was on March 23, 1775 that Patrick Henry offered his famous “Give me liberty or give me death” speech in colonial Virgina.
On Mach 23, 1942 –167 years later– the United States government began taking away the liberty of more than one hundred thousand people–the Japanese Americans viewed as a threat after Pearl Harbor. On that date, the U.S. Army began removing people of Japanese descent from Los Angeles.
