In a quiet corner of the USC campus, there's now a rock garden dedicated to the university's Nisei students -- Japanese American students forced into detention centers during World War II.

Eighty years ago, Japanese American students at USC were forced out of school, and into internment camps when the United States entered the Second World War. Today, a rock garden is being dedicated to those students.

Joanne Kumamoto and her sister Corrine Oishi are Jiro Oishi's daughters. He was a student at USC when he and his family were taken to an internment camp in Arizona."Now that they're willing to acknowledge it, and speak to that, to me makes a big difference," Kumamoto said."I think it brings a change to the university, and so that's why I think it's very appropriate.
