When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

These deaths are avoidable. Canal Street must be redesigned now to save lives.

NJ and Jersey City transit and/or ed people: Does anyone know what the proponents of the turnpike extension have said about what they will do with Ferris HS and Gateway Field, which are directly in way of expansion? PS5 and its nearby park will also be impacted.
