History note... This is when the My Lai Massacre occurred. Over 500 innocent people, civilians, were killed and mutilated by US troops. I wanted to note this incident as it plays a big role in support against the war. It was an incident that outraged all and wasn't reported until a year later in 1969. This led to more protests, including Woodstock and it lead to the decreasing of troops in the area.

The expansion of the Civil Rights Act is set leading to fair housing for all. It is also the year that Martin Luther King was assinaited devastating the entire country. Many mourned his loss and lead to the silent march in Memphis.

Sayuri was among them as she went into labor. But all the heartache and troubles she had faced, between being disowned by her mother, her father missing, her husband Jude at war, and having to live under the scrutiny of others... she died giving birth to Christopher Fraser. Chiyo, her mother could never forgive herself for letting her daughter go, so much so that she could not bear the sight of her grandchild. The loss of her daughter and her husband missing was more than she could take on. Christopher went to live with his granduncle Arthur Damme and his family. Art's family took him in with all love and care. They write to Jude and hope he gets their letters and hopes he finds peace in all this hate.
