I live just blocks from puyallup fairgrounds. Before i knew of its history i always felt a saddness when i would drive past it and now even more so. Thank you for sharing this. It is important to know our countrys history.

This is mean. No one should be incarcerated unless you are a criminal. Also, i don't remember learning this in history. Don't they say that we need to learn from history so we dont make the same mistake?? This is so shameful.
