January 30th is Fred Korematsu Day

A year ago I happened to meet one of the speakers that will be at the panel today. It was an honor to meet her and I was deeply moved by her story. I hope that you might drop by the Donald Wright Auditorium to hear her recollections on this day honoring Fred Korematsu.
