This week, we're looking at the history of Japanese Immigration to the United States and to Idaho, and the atrocities of Japanese Interment that transpired during WWII.

Some current events intersected with the last few episodes of our podcast and we want to acknowledge them.

We're wrapping up our two part minisodes on Chinese Immigration to Idaho (Erasing History)! How does the history of anti-Chinese discrimination relate to Fair Housing? Listen to find out!

We're digging even deeper into the history of immigration to Idaho in episode three of our mini series! Today the topic is Chinese Immigration and the history of Boise's very own Chinatown! We had so much fun researching this topic that we had to break it up into two parts!

Enjoy!

In part two of our mini series we're building off of what we learned about "rootshock" by diving into the history of immigration to the United States. In this episode, we focus on Mexican Immigration and how discriminatory housing practices have been used to exploit or manipulate migrant labor forces.

In this episode we kick off a Fair Housing History Mini-Series with a focus on rootshock!

For thousands of years before the arrival of European colonizers, Indigenous Peoples lived on the American continent. Initiated by these early settlers, the United States became established in the East and colonized the continent through land grabs and genocide. Following a belief in Manifest Destiny, these efforts led the settler colonials all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Throughout its history, the United States has been part of great oppression as well as great advances in human rights and social justice.
