Today hundreds are gathered at the San Bruno @SFBART station for the unveiling of the Tanforan Assembly Center Memorial—honoring the thousands of Japanese American Bay Area residents incarcerated here during WWII. @KQEDnews #stoprepeatinghistory San Bruno’s Tanforan Racetrack, now a mall, was converted into a temporary detention center after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Between April and October 1942, Japanese Americans were forced from their homes around the Bay and incarcerated here for months.
