My AAPI History Month last minute comment, copied from [bsky](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:soarcdrcjlywmon6slprghkr/post/3lpv55q2ty22w).

Many years ago, I was on vacation, and went to Nottoway, the plantation that burned down. The main thing I remember were the slaves quarters, partly because I expected them to be worse.

The picture above isn’t slaves quarters. It’s the barracks at Tanforan, where Japanese Americans were kept before being sent to concentration camps. [#aapihistory](https://bsky.app/hashtag/aapihistory)

The slaves quarters were around this level, but with grass instead of dirt, and the walls were painted.

They lived on a plantation…and weren’t allowed more wood to improve their homes. Slaves built the mansion, and repaired it, but were living in the barest shelters.

Those barracks above were modified horse stalls.

Enslaved Black people were treated like animals, made to live in conditions fit for a horse.

While the JA incarcerees were living in horse housing, JA incarceree-volunteers were at the concentration camp, building the barracks in the deserts. They were building their own prisons.
