DESCRIPTION:DURING WWII, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PUT MORE THAN 110,000 PEOPLE IN 
 CONCENTRATION CAMPS BASED ON THEIR RACE. HEAR THE STORY OF ONE MAN WHO 
 REFUSED TO GO.\n\nThe 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 Wrongs and Rights: The Fred 
 Korematsu Story,” which has previously aired 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. The 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 7:00pm on the UC Berkeley 
 campus, in room 2060 of the Valley Life Sciences Building. \n\nAdmission is 
 free. For more information please contact: ayeh@berkeleyaclu.com.\n\n
