"It was an interesting book that taught me a lot about that certain time period and how the Japanese were treated in the internment camps." -Nick LaChance

This is a Memorial Day celebration and the Manzanar internment camp. Many Japanese gathered to honor the dead. The people standing around the Boy Scouts were tourists and people that survived in the internment camps. They are honoring the people by having a parade and giving many speeches and having a moment of silence.
