Letter, Governor Homer Adkins To Mr. Edward J. Meeman
Japanese American internment in Arkansas
This letter, written by Governor Homer Adkins, was in response to a letter from Edward Meeman, editor for the Memphis Press-Scimitar. Meeman had previously written to Governor Adkins asking if the Y.W.C.A. could hire a young interned Japanese-American woman as an arts and craft teacher for their camp in Hardy, Arkansas. Governor Adkins' response explains that the rules do not allow internees to leave the internment camps, which is for everyone's protection. He says he has refused all requests for employment of Japanese Americans outside the camps.
