Upstanders
Fred Korematsu
Fred Korematsu was a shipyard welder in america. Korematsu was then told to comply with the order of 9066. Then Mr. Korematsu challenged the idea of the internment camps. A huge legal and social battle took place during the trial. By the end of multiple continuing trials, Mr. Korematsu won and got his people out of the camps. Also, as a reparation from the U.S., each remaining survivor gained 20,000 dollars for the “Inconvenience”. ("Japanese American Internment.")
Gordon Hirabayashi
Born in Seattle, Gordon Hirabayashi was one of the 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent who were sent to Japanese-American camps after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor during World War 2. When US soldiers stormed in to force them into evacuation, Hirabayashi refused to go. After losing in Federal Court, he was sentenced to prison for violating a conviction order. No matter the punishment would be, Gordon never gave up his beliefs that the camps were unfair. Gordon Hirabayashi realized that the constitution wasn’t what threatened his people, it was the people who failed to uphold it. He brought this to his upstanding legacy when he died in January of 2012. (Katyal)
