日本拘留營 Japanese Internment Camps
Nicole T. One fascinating example that creative individuals are needed in society is Fred Korematsu's protest against the internment of Japanese Americans. With FDR issuing Executive Order 9066 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, all Japanese Americans were forced to move to internment camps. Knowing the order was a direct violation of individual rights, Korematsu evaded internment. He was arrested later on for disobeying the law. By taking his case to the Supreme Court, Korematsu decided to fight against the blatant racism against Japanese Americans. Not only did Korematsu attempt to overcome racial discrimination, but also gain equal rights for Japanese Americans. Although the Supreme Court ruled against the case, Korematsu v. United States demonstrated the racism involved in the unfair treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II. However, Korematsu's courage and creativity lives on forever and reminds us to eliminate racial discrimination and preserve equality.
