Today in 2003, the first pilgrimage was made to Minidoka in Idaho. At its peak, the Minidoka Concentration Camp incarcerated approximately 9,400 people of Japanese ancestry. About six decades after its closure in 1945, 120 pilgrims returned to this site to remember the friends and family that had once been incarcerated there. Since then, the program has grown to include educational and inspirational segments that aid in the preservation of the site's history. Organizations such as the Minidoka National Historic Site team, the Minidoka Pilgrimage Planning Committee, and the Friends of Minidoka have also been established to ensure that the history of the site is never forgotten. Today's image depicts a baseball team at Minidoka.
