Topic Reading-Vol.244-12/11/2012

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Pearl Harbor’s role in a historic Supreme Court decision.
How many of you know that about 120,000 U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry, two-thirds of which were born in the country, were interned in 10 camps set up nationally from the year after Imperial Japanese navy attached the Perl Harbor base in Hawaii on December 7th, eightth in Japan because of the International Date Line, 1941 until the year after the war ended in 1945? The executive order by then president Franklin Roosevelt was upheld by the Supreme Court at that time but a half century later, the court overturned the prior judgment.
Enjoy reading and learning about a part of the dark side of human right history in the US.
