Synopsis:
Fred
Korematsu was probably never more American than when he resisted, and then
challenged in court, the forced internment 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 untold
history of the 40-year legal fight to vindicate Korematsu - one that finally
turned a civil injustice into a civil rights victory. |
