DESCRIPTION:The Berkeley American Civil Liberties Union will be hosting an event 
 honoring Fred Korematsu and his lifelong legal and personal struggle to 
 ensure civil liberties for all Americans. The event will feature the 
 documentary, “Of Civil Rights and Wrongs: The Fred Korematsu Story,” 
 which has aired previously on PBS and was produced and directed by Eric 
 Paul Fournier. Members of the Berkeley ACLU will present Fred Korematsu 
 with a lifetime achievement plaque in recognition of his courage and 
 commitment as a fighter and spokesperson for American civil liberties. 
 Confirmed speakers include Karen Korematsu-Haigh, the daughter of Fred 
 Korematsu; Don Tamaki and Karen Kai, attorneys on the Coram Nobis team who 
 represented Mr. Korematsu in his appeal case forty years after the initial 
 1944 Supreme Court ruling; Dorothy Ehrlich, executive director of the 
 ACLU-Northern California; and Eric Paul Fournier. Invited guests include 
 Fred and Kathryn Korematsu and Peter Irons, the UCSD law professor whose 
 research led to the reopening of Mr. Korematsu’s case and the eventual 
 reversal of his conviction in 1983.  Discussion will focus on the parallel 
 between the challenges to civil liberties faced by minority groups during 
 World War Two and in our modern times. The event will take place on 
 Wednesday, Sept. 3rd at 5:30pm on the UC Berkeley campus, in room 2060 of 
 the Valley Life Sciences Building. Admission is free.\n\n \n\nFor more
