The Japanese American incarceration during World War II is a black eye on U.S. history. In the four decades that followed, activists and community leaders waged what was ultimately a successful campaign for redress and reparations on behalf of those who were sent to the internment camps. On this episode, Professor Margaret Chon discusses how the reparations campaign built on groundwork laid during the Civil Rights Movement, and she explores how the decadeslong drive informs today's fight for racial justice in America.
