Calendar
Spring 2008 Semester
- Film Screening: Of Civil Wrongs and Rights - The Fred Korematsu Story
When: Wednesday, January 23 at 5.30pm
Where: 402
Fred Korematsu was probably never more American than when he resisted, and then challenged in court, the forced internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Korematsu lost his landmark Supreme Court case in 1944, but never his indignation and resolve. OF CIVIL WRONGS AND RIGHTS is the untold history of the 40-year legal fight to vindicate Korematsu — one that finally turned a civil injustice into a civil rights victory.
Dinner will be provided
