Japanese American History Museum

Overall, I think the Japanese American History Museum was very interesting and it really got me hooked on Japanese American history. Two things I learned are how the Japanes call their first generation in the United States Ise, the second, Nise, and the third, Sanse. I also learned that Benjamin Franklin was a racist. My favorite aspect of the museum was seeing the Medal of Honor and all of the other medals(bronze star, purple heart, etc.)that the Japanese Americans in WWII and the model of Manzanar(an internment camp). Some of the similarities between the Asian American experience and the African American experience is that they both involve racism, unfair treatment, and civil rights struggles.
