When I was just looking up info. on the museum, I found an article on it from The Journal of Historical Review. The title: California Subsidizes Japanese American Museum. It seems, when George Deukemajian was in office, he first turned down, then passed a bill for a grant of $175,000. The museum was to be built on the grounds of a Historic Buddhist temple in little Tokyo. The city would get the money if they matched 1 mill.$. It would show the experience of immigrants and would serve as a conscienceof America-- reminding of the civil injustices of WW11.[Edit by="scampbell on Jan 28, 1:58:56 AM"][/Edit]
