Japanese-Americans were forced out of their homes and imprisoned
Between 1942 and 1946, approximately 120,000 Japanese-Americans were forced out of their homes and imprisoned within concentration camps across California and other western states. Now, after 78 years, California lawmakers have finally voted to give them an apology.

California Officially Apologizes For Internment Of Japanese-Americans During World War II
Throughout World War II, the U.S. government forced approximately 120,000 Japanese-Americans out of their homes and into internment camps across the American West. Many prisoners were subjected to terror tactics like mock executions and some weren’t even released until half a year after the war ended.
In the decades since, the U.S. has grappled with this dark chapter in its history and did issue an apology in 1988. And now, after 78 years the state of California — where many prisoners were held — has officially apologized as well.
When archaeologist Eliseo Gil presented artifacts from the third century A.D. in 2006, the academic world was stunned. Not only did the ancient graffiti on pottery shards he unveiled contain one of the oldest examples of the written Basque language, but the oldest ever depiction of Christ’s crucifixion as well.
Unfortunately, those remarkable finds — which Gil claimed “rewrote the history books” — have now been declared criminal forgeries. The disgraced researcher now faces prison time for falsifying these relics, which he purportedly unearthed at a Roman settlement in Spain.
