Japanesse American's Boarding Train March 1942

Train to Japanesse Internment Camps March, 1942

During World War II, Gordon Hirabayashi chose to fight the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans. He spent more than two years in prisons for violating exclusion and curfew orders. He cleared his name four decades after his 1942 arrest and, in the process, helped prove the US falsified the reasons for the mass incarceration.
