The date was February 21st.
Yuri ran up to Malcolm X. And picked up his head and just put it on my lap.
December 7th is a date.
Three guys walked in.
I didn't know what they were till later though.
They asked if Mr. Nakahara lived there.
I said, oh yeah, but he just came home in the hospital and he's sleeping in the back.
He had had a ulcer surgery.
They didn't say anything.
They just went in the house, went to the back.
woke up my father and said, put on your bathrobe and slippers, I guess.
And they took him away just like that.
each other up saying, did anyone come to your house yet?
Some of the people said yes, some said no, but they all had heard over the radio that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.
So we said, oh my God, we're all going to be in trouble.
There were some people on the street who had signed saying, we're sorry to see you go, you know, you Japanese go.
