Japanese Friendship Bell

This guide to the Japanese Friendship Bell in San Diego opens with the bell's first ringing over the bay in December 1960, then reaches back eighteen years to Civilian Exclusion Number Four, the 1942 order that gave the city's Japanese American families one week to leave, tracing their forced route from the Santa Fe Railway Depot to a converted racetrack and on to a desert camp. It also covers the earlier stripping of their commercial fishing licenses, before turning to how the city of Yokohama came to send San Diego a gift years later. Stand close to the bell and read the story in its bronze.
