HISTORY AND ISSUES SURROUNDING ASIAN DIASPORA IN THE UNITED STATES

Fred T. Korematsu Institute 
Fred Korematsu was an ordinary person who took an extraordinary stand. By resisting the U.S. military orders that imprisoned more than 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent during World War II, he shows us how anyone can stand up for what is right—no matter the odds. His arrest and conviction, the constitutional issues raised by his U.S. Supreme Court case, Korematsu v. United States, and his vindication 39 years later stand as civil rights milestones.
The Korematsu Institute develops and distributes educational resources about Fred Korematsu's story, the WWII Japanese American incarceration, Asian American history , and current civil rights issues.
