Born 100 years ago today, Fred T. Korematsu fought a lifelong struggle to right an injustice that the U.S. government brought upon thousands of Japanese American citizens during World War II.
He was a welder in California before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942, American citizens of Japanese ancestry and Japanese nationals were forced into incarceration. Korematsu refused. He was sent to federal prison, then a camp with his family.
He challenged the legality of the detention, but it was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1944. In 1983, he petitioned to reopen the case and a lower court found in his favor. His conviction was overturned, but not the Supreme Court's decision. Congress apologized and awarded each survivor $20,000. Portrait from our @smithsoniannpg.
