THIS DAY IN HISTORY FEB. 19

      On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an executive order that resulted in the internment of thousands of Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast.  A terrific book dealing with this subject matter is the memoir, "Farewell to Manzanar" written by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston.
