UW honors Japanese-American students interned during World War II
SEATTLE — It’s been more than six decades since the bombing of Pearl Harbor set off the chain of events that led to the internment of 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese nationals during World War II.
This grievous national tragedy had a direct impact upon the University of Washington: 440 Japanese-American students were forced to leave campus for internment camps with mere days’ notice. Though some of these students received their degrees in a quiet ceremony at one of the internment camps, and others returned later to complete their schooling or earned their degrees elsewhere, many more were unable to finish their education at the UW.

Web site based at the University of Washington is best resource on the Web for African American history
SEATTLE – A Web site based at the University of Washington, featuring African American history, has just passed the million mark in visits.
Blackpast.org has 1,500 pages including nearly 1,000 entries, more than 100 speeches by African American activists and many other valuable resources. Since staff began monitoring its traffic at the start of 2006, the site and its preceding university faculty site where information was originally stored have attracted more than one million visits. That number is even more astounding when compared to an average gauge of success for a historical publication in print format – 10,000 copies sold is considered a best seller.
“The fact that we’ve had one million visits means that this Web site has enormous appeal,” said Quintard Taylor, Jr., UW professor of history and the Web site director of Blackpast.org.
