DescriptionIn this "I remember" memoir, Iddy Taniguchi Asada recalls arriving at Seabrook Farms from an internment camp in Poston, Arizona. Their new barracks closely resembled the living conditions at Poston, but new families at Seabrook did not have to pay rent for their first 6 months. Although the barracks and the bathroom facilities were crowded, there were partitions of land available for anyone who wanted to grow a Victory Garden. This past-time became a fun kind of competition between new and seasoned gardeners alike. People who were too old or limited to work in the fields often grew small crops on the partitions to bring in additional income for their families. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms.
