"Stand Up For What Is Right!"
Morris Dailey Auditorium in Tower Hall

Sunday, January 26, 2014
2:30 p.m.
The celebration honors the fourth anniversary of “Fred Korematsu Day of
Civil Liberties & the Constitution Day,” which is observed on January 30 by
state law in California. Korematsu’s resistance to the Japanese American
mass incarceration during World War II and his subsequent court victories
revealed one of the worst violations of civil rights in American history. In
1998, Fred Korematsu received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation
’s highest civilian honor, from President Bill Clinton.
Tickets are $15 ($10 for teachers and $5 for students) and can be purchased
online at http://korematsuinstitute.org. The event is produced by the Fred T. Korematsu Institute for Civil Rights and Education, and sponsored by the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center, the Japanese American Museum of San Jose, and the film DOCUMENTED, a project of Define American, founded by Jose Antonio Vargas. |
