By JUSTIN WINGERTER | The Denver Post | Published: May 20, 2021 GRANADA, Colo. (Tribune News Service) Fifteen miles from the Kansas border, Prowers County Road 23 1/2 comes to a dusty end, surrounded by sagebrush and prickly pear cacti and dead junipers. A place The Denver Post called, eight decades ago, as bleak a spot as one can find on the western plains. In one of the more shameful moments in American history, the federal government removed 120,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals from their homes on the West Coast between 1942 and 1945 and imprisoned 10,000 over that timespan in far southeast Colorado, at a concentration camp it euphemistically named the Granada Relocation Center.
