In 1943, Monterey County’s Board of Supervisors passed a resolution which “‘vigorously’ protested the release of Japanese from internment camps, citing the lack of ‘provision for adequate surveillance and control’ and the potential for ‘serious sabotage and difficulty in defending our shoreline in the event of an attack.'” A historian researching the history of Japanese in the area discovered the old resolution and on Tuesday the present day board plans to rescind it.
