This house, a mansion of the 1890's, was evacuated on May 19, 1942, by a farming family in this agricultural area in Yolo County,

Thanks to Dean Perchik, publisher of The Symzonia Review, SYMZONIA, I got the sudden urge to google "May 19, 1890." So I found this news report from May 19, 1942.


This house, a mansion of the 1890's, was evacuated on May 19, 1942, by a farming family in this agricultural area in Yolo County, four miles from Woodland. Farmers and other evacuees of Japanese ancestry will be given opportunities to follow their callings at War Relocation Authority centers where they will spend the duration.

In case you haven't heard about Homeland Insecurity's raid on "illegal immigrants" in Iowa last week (and apparently ongoing atrocities to keep America safe for the "Americans"), you might want to check out the Des Moines Register: RAID. Not quite a parallel but close enough to be more than slightly disturbing. Whom are the Feds going to target next?
