Download or read book They Called Us Enemy Expanded Edition written by George Takei and published by Top Shelf Productions. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling graphic memoir from actor/author/activist George Takei returns in a deluxe edition with 16 pages of bonus material! Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love. George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his magnetic performances, sharp wit, and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in STAR TREK, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future. In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard. THEY CALLED US ENEMY is Takei's firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the terrors and small joys of childhood in the shadow of legalized racism, his mother's hard choices, his father's tested faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future. What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? George Takei joins cowriters Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker for the journey of a lifetime.

Download or read book Refueling the Past written by Archie Bentz and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallons of Premium History with 584 illustrations! Refueling the Past will take you back to early blacksmith shops and general stores selling gasolene and horseless carriages up through the nostalgic 20th century service stations, garages, and car dealerships, triggering great memories from a bygone era. There have been a number of publications on the subject, but they have been lacking the historical perspective from those who actually experienced all of the nuances of the American dream of small business ownership, the actual service station operator. It will become apparent there is a universal application to anyone's hometown as it is a comprehensive compilation of local business history relative to the automobile. The incentive for Archie Bentz was to capture and share this microcosm of the service station industry as it applied local business history of his hometown area of Batavia, Geneva, and St. Charles, Illinois including surrounding communities in central Kane County.
