Japanese-Americans Were Relocated To Internment Camps
The US military imposed restrictions on Japanese-Americans following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Internment camps, which were essentially glorified prisons, were used to hold them. The military had no reason to act in this way because the civilians posed no threat. Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga talked about meeting one near Death Valley. She said, “The only thing that was in the ‘apartments’ when we got there were army metal beds with the springs on it, and a potbellied stove in the middle of the room. That was the only thing. No chest of drawers, no nothing, no curtains on the windows. It was the barest of the bare.” How awful. In 1942, this picture of Japanese-American students was taken.

Lyndon B. Johnson Was Sworn Into Office Aboard Air Force One
The United States was without a president for about an hour and a half after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. While the country was in a state of confusion and chaos, VPOTUS Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn into office aboard Air Force One while it was parked at Love Field in Dallas. On his left are First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson. FBI agents and his new cabinet members are among the onlookers. They all had anxious and tense facial expressions, revealing the level of anxiety and tension present.
