Walter Woodward and Japanese internment

In 1941, Bainbridge Island was the first community in the United States to send its Japanese-American residents to internment camps. The ''Review'' quickly rose to fame for being the only newspaper on the West Coast to openly criticise President Franklin D. Roosevelt's order. A Bainbridge Island school, Woodward Middle School is named in honor of Walter Woodward, then the editor and primary critic at the ''Review''.
