The Manzanar Riot, which occurred on December 6, 1942, began as a protest against the harsh living conditions and restrictions imposed on Japanese Americans interned at Manzanar War Relocation Center during World War II. Tensions escalated when a group of internees organized a demonstration to demand improved treatment and conditions. The situation turned violent when military police intervened, leading to a clash between the internees and guards, resulting in injuries and arrests. The riot highlighted the frustrations and grievances of those interned, as well as the oppressive environment they faced.
