She considered the internment a grave injustice, and her photos depict it that way.

When he learned he would be interned at Manzanar, he asked a carpenter to build him a wooden box with a hole carved out at one end to accommodate a lens. He turned this box into a makeshift camera that he snuck around the camp, as his grandson Alan Miyatake explains in the video below, which is featured in the exhibit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearful of being discovered, Miyatake at first took pictures only at dusk or dawn, usually without people in them. Camp director Merritt eventually caught Miyatake, but instead of punishing him, allowed him to take pictures openly. Miyatake later became the camp's official photographer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His photos, some of which are featured in the video above, convey an intimacy with camp life absent in the pictures that Adams and Lange took. He captured laughter at a picnic and men delivering vegetables to the mess hall (at 4:21 in the video).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=466453528&mediaId=466969457\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His photos also had moments of silent protest. In one picture (5:03) three boys peer through the camp's barbed wire fence to the outside world.

When he learned he would be interned at Manzanar, he asked a carpenter to build him a wooden box with a hole carved out at one end to accommodate a lens. He turned this box into a makeshift camera that he snuck around the camp, as his grandson Alan Miyatake explains in the video below, which is featured in the exhibit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearful of being discovered, Miyatake at first took pictures only at dusk or dawn, usually without people in them. Camp director Merritt eventually caught Miyatake, but instead of punishing him, allowed him to take pictures openly. Miyatake later became the camp's official photographer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His photos, some of which are featured in the video above, convey an intimacy with camp life absent in the pictures that Adams and Lange took.

In one picture (5:03) three boys peer through the camp's barbed wire fence to the outside world.

"content": "\u003cp>About 40 years ago, when she was 24, Consuelo Hermosillo had an emergency cesarean section at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. In the new documentary, “No Más Bebés,” she recalls asking her doctor what type of birth control she should use going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He goes, ‘You don’t need anything. We cut your tubes,’ ” Hermosillo says in the film. “And I said, ‘Why?’ And he said, ‘Well you signed for it.’ And I said, ‘Me?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nomasbebesmovie.com/\">“No Más Bebés (No More Babies),”\u003c/a> which aired on PBS Monday night, tells the story of how 10 immigrant Mexican women, Hermosillo included, sued Los Angeles County doctors, the state and the U.S. government in 1975 for allegedly violating their civil rights. The women’s cases were similar. Each had an emergency cesarean section and each said she was either unaware that she signed for a tubal ligation or was told by a medical professional that not signing for one could mean death for her and her unborn child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/videos/no-mas-bebes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch the full “No Más Bebés” film here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It examines how the lawsuit, \u003cem>Madrigal v. Quilligan\u003c/em>, came to be, how questions of informed consent — or lack thereof — and coercion played into the case, and how the collision of various societal issues resulted in stories like Hermosillo’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aseQlmKg25U\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re a filmmaker, the easiest thing to do is make a film about the good guys and the bad guys, the heroes and the villains,” says director \u003ca href=\"http://www.asianam.ucla.edu/people/renee-tajima-pe%C3%B1a\">Renee Tajima-Peña\u003c/a>. She says she and co-producer \u003ca href=\"http://itvs.org/films/no-mas-bebes/filmmaker\">Virginia Espino\u003c/a>, a historian who wrote her dissertation on the case, wanted to tell a multilayered story, one that revealed how even the best intentions could do harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tajima-Peña and Espino explore the roles played by federally funded family-planning programs; a growing popular movement to curb population growth that attracted both environmentalists and anti-immigration proponents; doctors fresh out of medical school working in under-resourced maternity wards; cultural misunderstandings; and the popular belief that poor women who need public assistance should abstain from having children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, these factors created what Tajima-Peña calls a “perfect storm” resulting in the sterilization of thousands of vulnerable women across the country in the late ’60s and early 1970s. She and Espino say their goal was to document a history that continues to repeat itself — they point to \u003ca href=\"http://cironline.org/reports/female-inmates-sterilized-california-prisons-without-approval-4917\">nearly 150 women sterilized in California prisons between 2006 and 2010\u003c/a> as the most recent example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In telling this history, the film highlights the role played by the Family Planning and Population Research Act, which Congress passed in 1970, allocating millions for family-planning purposes. That money went to fund contraceptives, education, research and training. “You’ve got money for family planning programs, which were good programs and provided contraceptives for women who couldn’t afford it,” says Tajima-Peña. Congress also lifted a ban on federal funding for sterilization, so hospitals that provided the indigent with medical care, like Los Angeles County General Hospital, could apply for government money to perform tubal ligations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, lobbying efforts in Washington, fueled by a fear of overpopulation gripping the nation, led to yet more funding for family planning programs. Inspired by the popularity of biologist Paul Ehrlich’s best-selling 1968 book, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/01/us/the-unrealized-horrors-of-population-explosion.html\">The Population Bomb\u003c/a>,” which predicted that at some point in the 1980s, overpopulation would make it impossible for the planet to support humanity, members of the “zero population movement” worked to convince the public that having children was a very bad idea. Some went so far as promoting the sterilization of women deemed to have had too many. (They also called for a dramatic reduction to immigration.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Akm8so5PCpQmztRAsKC6euza1J5VHAba”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, there were divisions within the feminist movement on how sterilization fit into the bigger picture of reproductive rights. Mainstream white feminists marched for “the right to choose,” including unfettered access to sterilizations, contraception and abortions. Feminists of color also called for abortion rights and easy access to contraception, but broke with white feminists on the issue of sterilization, arguing that for women of color, sterilization was not always a matter of choice. They called for waiting periods before tubal ligation procedures, and Latina activists called for Spanish-language consent forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In “No Más Bebés,” California politician \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-morrison-new29-2009aug29-column.html\">Gloria Molina\u003c/a>, who was active in the Chicana feminist movement in the 1970s, says the idea of a waiting period was “totally offensive” to white feminists, who, she says, pushed for sterilization upon demand. “They weren’t taking into account that if you were Spanish-speaking, and if you don’t speak English, you were being denied a right, totally,” Molina says in the film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there was the long-held stance, still popular today, that poor women should not have children they can’t afford to support, especially poor women of color. For decades, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uic.edu/orgs/cwluherstory/CWLUArchive/puertorico.html\">Puerto Rican women had been subjected to sterilizations at various points\u003c/a> as a way to combat astronomical unemployment and poverty on the island; a 1965 survey found that a third of Puerto Rican mothers living on the island at the time had been sterilized. \u003ca href=\"https://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth=0&type=summary&url=/journals/american_indian_quarterly/v024/24.3lawrence.html\">Native American women\u003c/a> were sterilized at the hands of the Indian Health Service in the 1970s. Poor African-American women on government assistance were also sterilized across the country during that time period. \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/seeking-justice/case-docket/relf-v-weinberger\">A particularly damning case\u003c/a>, brought two years before \u003cem>Madrigal v. Quilligan\u003c/em>, involved two black sisters sterilized at ages 14 and 12 in Alabama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to recap: You had a surge of federal money for sterilizations, mainstream feminists calling for easier access to them, a fear that overpopulation would soon destroy the planet and the fear that poor women were burdening the country with children whom taxpayers would need to feed, clothe and educate. This nexus of events — and the consequences, intended and unintended, that followed — is the knot that “No Más Bebés” tries to untie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why were they doing it?” Consuelo Hermosillo, one of the 10 plaintiffs in \u003cem>Madrigal v. Quilligan\u003c/em>, asks on camera at one point in the film, nearly 40 years after her sterilization at L.A. County General. “I always keep these questions with me, and I never get those answers,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

She says she and co-producer \u003ca href=\"http://itvs.org/films/no-mas-bebes/filmmaker\">Virginia Espino\u003c/a>, a historian who wrote her dissertation on the case, wanted to tell a multilayered story, one that revealed how even the best intentions could do harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tajima-Peña and Espino explore the roles played by federally funded family-planning programs; a growing popular movement to curb population growth that attracted both environmentalists and anti-immigration proponents; doctors fresh out of medical school working in under-resourced maternity wards; cultural misunderstandings; and the popular belief that poor women who need public assistance should abstain from having children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, these factors created what Tajima-Peña calls a “perfect storm” resulting in the sterilization of thousands of vulnerable women across the country in the late ’60s and early 1970s. She and Espino say their goal was to document a history that continues to repeat itself — they point to \u003ca href=\"http://cironline.org/reports/female-inmates-sterilized-california-prisons-without-approval-4917\">nearly 150 women sterilized in California prisons between 2006 and 2010\u003c/a> as the most recent example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In telling this history, the film highlights the role played by the Family Planning and Population Research Act, which Congress passed in 1970, allocating millions for family-planning purposes. That money went to fund contraceptives, education, research and training. “You’ve got money for family planning programs, which were good programs and provided contraceptives for women who couldn’t afford it,” says Tajima-Peña. Congress also lifted a ban on federal funding for sterilization, so hospitals that provided the indigent with medical care, like Los Angeles County General Hospital, could apply for government money to perform tubal ligations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, lobbying efforts in Washington, fueled by a fear of overpopulation gripping the nation, led to yet more funding for family planning programs. Inspired by the popularity of biologist Paul Ehrlich’s best-selling 1968 book, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/01/us/the-unrealized-horrors-of-population-explosion.html\">The Population Bomb\u003c/a>,” which predicted that at some point in the 1980s, overpopulation would make it impossible for the planet to support humanity, members of the “zero population movement” worked to convince the public that having children was a very bad idea. Some went so far as promoting the sterilization of women deemed to have had too many. (They also called for a dramatic reduction to immigration.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, there were divisions within the feminist movement on how sterilization fit into the bigger picture of reproductive rights. Mainstream white feminists marched for “the right to choose,” including unfettered access to sterilizations, contraception and abortions. Feminists of color also called for abortion rights and easy access to contraception, but broke with white feminists on the issue of sterilization, arguing that for women of color, sterilization was not always a matter of choice. They called for waiting periods before tubal ligation procedures, and Latina activists called for Spanish-language consent forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In “No Más Bebés,” California politician \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-morrison-new29-2009aug29-column.html\">Gloria Molina\u003c/a>, who was active in the Chicana feminist movement in the 1970s, says the idea of a waiting period was “totally offensive” to white feminists, who, she says, pushed for sterilization upon demand. “They weren’t taking into account that if you were Spanish-speaking, and if you don’t speak English, you were being denied a right, totally,” Molina says in the film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there was the long-held stance, still popular today, that poor women should not have children they can’t afford to support, especially poor women of color. For decades, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uic.edu/orgs/cwluherstory/CWLUArchive/puertorico.html\">Puerto Rican women had been subjected to sterilizations at various points\u003c/a> as a way to combat astronomical unemployment and poverty on the island; a 1965 survey found that a third of Puerto Rican mothers living on the island at the time had been sterilized. \u003ca href=\"https://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth=0&type=summary&url=/journals/american_indian_quarterly/v024/24.3lawrence.html\">Native American women\u003c/a> were sterilized at the hands of the Indian Health Service in the 1970s. Poor African-American women on government assistance were also sterilized across the country during that time period. \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/seeking-justice/case-docket/relf-v-weinberger\">A particularly damning case\u003c/a>, brought two years before \u003cem>Madrigal v. Quilligan\u003c/em>, involved two black sisters sterilized at ages 14 and 12 in Alabama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to recap: You had a surge of federal money for sterilizations, mainstream feminists calling for easier access to them, a fear that overpopulation would soon destroy the planet and the fear that poor women were burdening the country with children whom taxpayers would need to feed, clothe and educate. This nexus of events — and the consequences, intended and unintended, that followed — is the knot that “No Más Bebés” tries to untie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why were they doing it?” Consuelo Hermosillo, one of the 10 plaintiffs in \u003cem>Madrigal v. Quilligan\u003c/em>, asks on camera at one point in the film, nearly 40 years after her sterilization at L.A. County General. “I always keep these questions with me, and I never get those answers,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"info": "For decades, the process for how police police themselves has been inconsistent – if not opaque. In some states, like California, these proceedings were completely hidden. After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
