History of Manzanar

Welcome to the Manzanar Committee Web Site
What distinguishes our site from other sites about Manzanar is our focus on the over 39-year history of sponsoring the annual Manzanar Pilgrimage, and the grassroots efforts of the Manzanar Committee, a small, but dedicated group of volunteers, founded by Sue Kunitomi Embrey in 1969.

41st Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage
The 41st Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage will be held Saturday, April 24, 2010, at the Manzanar National Historic Site.
