An internment camp during World War II was located where Griffith Park's Travel Town stands today. A sign was just placed at the site to document Griffith Park as one of those internment camps. Here's the full story:
Griffith Park's Travel Town is a popular recreational space known for its train rides and museum. However, the site is also home to a dark chapter in U.S. History.
"Like so many of our sacred spaces here in the City of Los Angeles, Griffith Park contains a history that is at once awesome and complicated," said Los Angeles Councilmember Nithya Raman. With the support of historians, city and park leaders unveiled a sign that documents Griffith Park as one of those internment camps. Kathy Masaoka's grandfather and Sigrid Toye's father were among the people stripped of due process and imprisoned there; some for days, others for months.
