Abstract
Description
Petition from group of mothers at Minidoka Relocation Center to General Delos C. Emmons of the Western Defense Command pleading for their sons to be treated equally and as free Americans when they are inducted into the Army, rather than being segregated. A response from Executive to Assistant Secretary of War Harrison Gerhardt to the director of Minidoka WRA Center acknowledges the contributions made by Japanese American soldiers and states that policy toward them is not intended to segregate but rather to protect them.
