Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The case of Gordon Hirabayashi is laid out in this pamphlet by the Gordon Hirabayashi Defense Committee. Gordon Hirabayashi, an American citizen born and raised in Seattle refused to register during the time of the Japanese American mass removal, insisting it was against his civil liberties.
A report on unrest and discrimination within the Manzanar incarceration camp describing the presence of two different ideologies in the camp with the Nisei wanting to assimilate into American life and the Issei and Kibei beginning to act more "pro-Japan."
