“I never imagined having to explain that using racial bias to incarcerate and relocate more than 100,000 people, including my parents and grandparents, was a bad policy. But here we are. In 1942, my family members were stripped of their possessions and their freedom because they looked like some of the people America was fighting. Excluding the mayor of Roanoke, this is universally viewed as one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. Many Japanese-Americans are still scarred by their extrajudicial internment. My parents have barely ever spoken of it.”
