Okay there's no plaque or anything commemorating this (no longer functioning) fountain, nor an explanation as to why this hundred year old relic laid on the rocks below was busted into about six pieces, until concerned citizens raised it from below, reassembled and plastered it.

This was the resort's fountain where the Japanese Olympic team stayed and trained during the 1932 Olympic games.

Some of us still endeavor to keep the memories of the inhabitants of #Issei cove alive.

Head South on Western avenue anywhere along the southern corridor of #Los_Angeles and at the very very end you'll arrive here at the cliffs of #White_Point.

It's also referred to as #Issei_Cove, in honor of the first generation #Japanese immigrants who first settled here, and farmed the reefs for scallops, abalone, and urchins.

It was a resort with a huge salt water pool and housed the #Japanese_Olympic_Team in 1932.

They were interred in WWII.

Remembrance for the Day the Cat Jumped.

And, as taught me by Dr. Ginger Wilson at Duke University when I was 13 years old: just as it’s necessary to remember the infamy of Dec. 7, 1941, so too must we remember the infamy of Executive Order 9066, which two months later authorized the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans — #Issei and #Nisei alike — from the West Coast of the United States to internment camps further inland.
