The Fred Korematsu Story: Film and Discussion

The J. Sherwood McGinnis, Jr. War, Peace, and Justice Project presents the U.S. Constitution Film and Discussion Series - We the People: An American Experience Through the Lens of the U.S. Constitution

Fred Korematsu was probably never more American than when he resisted, and then challenged in court, the forced incarceration 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 story of how he was vindicated decades later on proof that the government lied to the Court, turning a civil injustice into a civil rights victory.
