Student Melanie Glatter speaks during Memorial Day ceremonies at Idlewilde Cemetery in Hood River regarding the naming of Oregon Route 35 in honor of Oregon’s second-generation Japanese-American (Nisei) soldiers who served in World War II despite intense racism nationwide and in Hood River during and after the war. Following her remarks, American Legion Hood River Post 22 Commander Carl L. Casey spoke regarding the Legion’s support of the highway name change, describing some of the overt racism experienced by Nisei in Hood River. He apologized for the Legion’s role in that racism, noting the Legion would work “to ensure they will not be treated like that in Hood River ever again.“
