On this day, I remember my grandparents, who were born in LA County. They lost their farm in Palos Verdes and were told they'd be safe inland. Within months, they lost a second farm in the Central Valley. They were honest, hardworking, good neighbors and citizens, and very loving grandparents.

As the descendant of #Nikkei farmers, it was an honor to work on this piece covering the Kansha History Project, speaking with founder and director @amandameikim.bsky.social
The Kansha History Project is transcribing 7,000+ land transfer records from the WWII Farm Security Administration to help descendants of Nikkei farmers learn about their family histories. Learn more in a chat between @tamikonimura.bsky.social and founder Amanda Mei Kim: https://5dn.org/1b9cf2a 🗃️
