  • Congratulations Okinawa!

    Posted by Matt Dioguardi on October 1st, 2007

    Glad to see the people of Okinawa are standing up for themselves.

    Tens of thousands of people rallied to protest the government’s decision to cut out references in high school textbooks to the forced mass suicide of thousands of civilians during the 1945 Battle of Okinawa. Organizers said 110,000 people participated in Saturday’s rally, making it the largest of its kind in this southernmost prefecture in recent history. (link)
