CYPRESS — Naomi Hirahara and sex video sexGeraldine Knatz, authors of “Terminal Island: Lost Communities of Los Angeles Harbor,” will speak on Saturday, Feb. 6, at 2:30 p.m. at Cypress Library, 5331 Orange Ave. in Cypress.
Terminal Island was originally two islands — Rattlesnake Island and Deadman’s Island. It has been home to those of wealth, a tourist destination, and home to almost 3,000 Japanese Americans. In February 1942, the Nikkei community was evacuated and their homes destroyed.
Photographs enhance the powerful text by Hirahara — reporter, editor and author — and Knatz — professor, former port director of the Port of Los Angeles, and managing director the Port of Long Beach.
