Los Alamos Daily Post Article

Article Excerpt:
Learn the drama through the passions for those committee members who wished the Santa Fe political leaders to let them place a “marker” identifying the site of the former camp, and those angry citizens who resisted because they believed Japanese Prisoners of War had been held in the camp (not true) and because the City had not acknowledged the sacrifices and the military valor of their citizens during the war years. The request to allow the committee to put a boulder on city land was expected to fail 5-3 that night when the room was full and the atmosphere charged. Police were standing among the crowd. Learn the drama as each councilor voted.
