My heart goes out to the victims families and the survivors of this senseless and hateful attack.

and we are reminded that we all have a duty to fight against injustice whenever and wherever we see it.Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii): Today we commemorate the life and legacy of Fred Korematsu.

a 23-year-old Fred Korematsu resisted the racial profiling and incarceration of Japanese Americans in internment camps.Mark Takano (D-Riverside): Fred Korematsu stood up for all Americans rights and freedoms by resisting Japanese American internment during World War II.000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forced into incarceration.

we reflect on his courage to seek justice following the years of bigotry and xenophobia from the American government that ultimately led to the incarceration of innocent Japanese Americans.but also became one of the over 120.

the civil rights hero who challenged the unjust and racist internment of tens of thousands of Japanese Americans during World War II and fought for freedom and racial justice his entire life.

Korematsu never stopped speaking out against racial discrimination.put your cosmetics on the side.

I wasnt reluctant to talk about it.One of the things it really destroyed was the strong Japanese family structure.

I can keep up with a 50-year-old.he shared his memories of his familys wartime experience: I was three years in the Topaz internment camp in Utah.
