The following description comes from the event organizer.

In 1942, Executive Order 9066 authorized the involuntary removal of all people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast and forced them into what were euphemistically called "relocation centers." Two years later, when the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of the Executive Order, Justice Roberts dubbed these centers “concentration camps.” 

In this workshop, attorney Peggy Nagae, leader of the team that successfully fought to overturn Minoru Yasui’s conviction for violating Executive Order 9066 will discuss the legal history of Executive Order 9066 and her work to overturn Yasui’s conviction. Attorney Shiri Salehin will then lead participants in an interactive discussion about Korematsu v. U.S. a 1944 Supreme Court decision upholding Japanese incarceration and forced removal and the impact of Trump v. Hawaii, a 2018 Supreme Court decision.

This event will be in an intimate workshop setting and seating is limited. Please sign up at https://tinyurl.com/25zrew7t.
