Join us via Zoom for this exciting event. Almost 80 years ago, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which resulted in the detention, forced removal and incarceration of approximately 120,000 men, women and children, because of their Japanese ancestry. Fred Korematsu, a young man from Northern California, fought against that injustice. Although the U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision that was later acknowledged to be “gravely wrong", upheld his conviction in 1944, his renewed legal challenge in the 1980s was a historical milestone in the fight for justice for all Americans, regardless of race or national origin. On January 30, 2022, join us as we honor his resilience.
