Fred Korematsu — An American Hero
1 PM LOS ANGELES • 4 PM NEW YORK
Fred Korematsu defied the US government in 1942 when he refused to be incarcerated as a Japanese American. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled against him. He was finally exonerated in 1983, in a landmark case that restored his civil rights and helped lead to reparations for all Japanese Americans who had been incarcerated during World War II. In 1998, Korematsu received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The film Of Civil Wrongs and Rights tells his powerful and important story.
