Surviving school complex and memorial of Poston incarceration camp.

Poston Relocation Center — Unit I is a incarceration site in Arizona. Surviving school complex and memorial of Poston incarceration camp. Japanese American children attended the camp school until the camp closed in 1945. Tribal and local education use continued from 1949 to 1980; several original school buildings remain.

Poston is the layered — the 'reservation' that's the irony built, the 'Tribal opposed' that's the elders' no. The 'Roasten Toasten Dustin' is the named — the 'three camps' that's the miles split, the 'nicknames' that's the dust's joke. The 'school stands' is the kept — the 'adobe built' that's the inmates' hands, the 'only complex' that's the camps' last.
The '17,814' is the packed — the 'peak '42' that's the desert's crowd, the 'third city' that's the Arizona's rank. The 'strike won' is the stood — the 'November '42' that's the refusal made, the 'demands met' that's the resistance's fruit. Poston is the irrigated — the 'ditches dug' that's the labor took, the 'tribe's farms' that's the benefit's aim.
The file keeps Poston: the reservation's irony, the three nicknames, the standing school, and the won strike.
Poston is the archive's Arizona file — the camp built on the tribe that said no.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Poston is the archive's Arizona file — where imprisoned Americans built schools for a reservation that refused them.
A camp keeps its irony — the file's suggestion being that Poston's hold is the doubled: the 'tribe objected' that's the injustice known, the 'adobe school' that's the hands built, and the 'strike won' that's the dignity kept.
