Oh My Goodness! Intrigued by your description of Tule lake, I looked it up on Wiki. This is what it says:

In 2012 Modoc County, California officials applied for a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund a new 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and 3 miles (4.8 km) long fence around the nearby Tulelake Municipal Airport, to keep animals off the runway.[4] The Tule Lake Committee and related groups working to preserve the historical integrity of the former Tule Lake War Relocation Center and related Camp Tulelake have opposed the airport fence. It would surround the site of most of the prison's barracks — nearly 46 complete "blocks" and portions of several others — impeding visitors and desecrating the physical and spiritual integrity of the camp.[4] The Stop the Fence at Tulelake Airport organization has explained, "A fence will prevent all Americans from experiencing the dimension and magnitude of the concentration camp where people experienced mass exclusion and racial hatred."[citation needed]

The opponents note that being excluded from the area would especially affect former internees and their descendants, who make regular pilgrimages to the former incarceration site and their specific assigned barracks. Those who make the pilgrimage want the ability to walk throughout the massive camp and imagine the experiences of the internees.[4][6] “They want to traverse the site to experience the dimension and magnitude of the place, to gain a sense of the distances family members walked in their daily routine to eat meals, attend school, to do laundry and use the latrines. They want to summon up the ghosts of the place, to revive long-suppressed memories and to mourn personal and collective loss.”[7]

Actor George Takei, held as a child with his family at the concentration camp, has worked in support of the petition against the fence. Takei has said, “We must not permit this history to be erased and minimized by destroying the integrity of the site or making it inaccessible to future generations.” [4] (Emphasis is mine).

So, according to this quote, George ascribes "spiritual dignity" to the LOCATION, but NOT to the folks that were interred there?

To be honest, this is the first I heard of the Tulelake fence.

As I recall Tulelake was largely intact as late as the 1970s in case the US Government needed them again.

I think you just busted mr Takei and exposed his real point - calling Justice Thomas a nigger Uncle Tom because Justice Thomas holds different views than himself.

A top shelf journalist needs to sit the arrogant homosexual activist down and further delve into his words about Tule Lake and his thoughts on human dignity. Alas, George Takei isn't worth the trouble being a washed up former character actor with an incoherent axe to grind.
