| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Wat Misaka. "President Dixon, he suggested that all of--there were quite a few Japanese Americans going to school at Weber and he had told everyone to stay home because they didn't know what kind of reception we'd have and if there'd be any troubles and so on. I didn't get the message and I went to school and they said, 'Hey, you're not supposed to be here.' So I came home for the day but most of the rest of us went back the next day. Of course, President Dixon said, 'You should stay home for at least this week.' But I don't remember what day of the week that was; it seems like it was early in the week, like a Tuesday or a Wednesday. I guess Pearl Harbor--that happened on Sunday I guess, so it must have been that Monday when we went to school. I came home but I went back the next day; there wasn't much of a clash at that time. I was kind of concerned with--so basketball had just started and we had this one fellow that was, I think he came to Weber from Hawaii to play football but he was also a basketball player so he was out for the basketball team. I was kind of concerned about him and he went home a day or so after that because he was worried about his parents and so on. I never did see him again." |
