A collection of newspaper clippings relating to the disturbances at the Tule Lake Relocation Center (Tule Lake, California) in November 1943. Tule Lake (and 9 other centers) were established by the U.S. War Relocation Authority (WRA) in 1942, to house Japanese-Americans after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. In November 1943, the U.S. Army took control of the camp after a protest incident. The collection includes articles from the San Francisco Chronicle, the Tulelake Reporter, the Klamath Falls (Oregon) Herald and News, and the Tulean Dispatch, a newsletter for camp residents. The collection also includes a memo from a WRA administrator to Rosemary Spoonemoore (spelling of last name uncertain) requesting that she meet with a Reports Officer to share "any facts which you can give them bearing on the incident."
