Listen "Boots on the Ground: Archaeology and Community at Manzanar"
Episode Synopsis
Last month, about ninety volunteers spent a weekend excavating the former hospital site at Manzanar, a World War II incarceration camp about 225 miles north of Los Angeles. Some of those volunteers were students in Mary Ringhoff’s Cultural Resource Management class. One of those students was Save As producer Willa Seidenberg, who interviewed people on site about why they travel from near and far to care for this site of tragic memory. In this episode, we dig into the study of archaeology with Mary, hear Willa’s great reporting, and talk with student Dani Velazco about what she got out of the experience (besides getting very, very dirty).Visit the episode page for links and photos, including fantastic images by photographer William Short!Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!
