If you have the feeling that something is wrong, don't be afraid to speak up.
One person can make a difference, even if it takes forty years.
My folks were so worried about what they were going to do. All they can take was what they could carry with their hands. What they had for twenty-five years of building their business was going to go out the door, or they're going to lose it.
I was the third son, and the family tradition was my dad always favored the oldest child.
I didn't think that the government would go as far as to include American citizens to be interned without a hearing.
Before the war, my parents were very proud people. They'd always talk about Japan and also about the samurai and things like that. Right after Pearl Harbor, they were just real quiet. They kept to themselves; they were afraid to talk about what could happen. I assume they knew that nothing good would come out of it.
I thought what the military was doing was unconstitutional.
I was an American citizen, and I had as many rights as anyone else.
As long as my record stands in federal court, any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without a trial or a hearing.
