Biographical/Historical Note
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9022, creating the War Relocation Authority (WRA). The WRA selected ten sites in which to imprison more than 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry, over two-thirds of whom were American citizens. Two of these centers were in the Arkansas Delta, one at Rohwer in Desha County, and the other at Jerome in sections of Chicot and Drew counties. Over 16,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in these two centers between October 1942 and November 1945.

PALM SUNDAY.
Another day is past, the house fowever fled;
And time is bearing me away, to mingle with the dead
My mind in perfect peace my Father's care shall keep;
I yield to gentle slumber now, for Thou canst never sleep.
How blessed Lord, are they on Thee securely stayed:
Nor shall they be in life alarmed, nor be in death dismayed.
