Moving Out

”We had one week to get ready. And what we could carry would include: bedding eating utensils and clothing. Questions arose: Where are we going? we don't know, we're not gonna tell you. How long are we going? We don't know , we' won't tell you. There was a rumor that we were being sent to Manzana, and no, that didn't prove true, we were sent to Santa Nita racetrack.” Morgan Yamanaka
