Description
Fred Korematsu Speaks Up is an important story about one courageous person who made the United States a fairer place for all Americans.
In 1941, the US government forced people of Japanese ancestry to leave their homes and move to distant prison camps. Fred Korematsu refused to go, knowing that what the government was doing was unfair. He knew he couldn't give up when he got put in jail for resisting. This story explores the life of a real-life hero who fought against discrimination.
Part of the Fighting for Justice series, this book introduces young readers to social progress heroes and encourages them to speak up for justice.
