What Happened After WWII?
• In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed a special
commission to investigate the internment of JapaneseAmericans during World War II. The commission
concluded that the decisions to remove those of
Japanese ancestry to prison camps occurred because of
"race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political
leadership." On November 10, 1983, Judge Marilyn
Hall Patel of U.S. District Court in San Francisco
formally vacated the conviction and overturned the
Korematsu’s conviction. In 1988, Congress apologized
and granted personal compensation of $20,000 to each
surviving prisoner.
• Humanity makes progress through decades of sweat
and toil by dedicated individuals who give freely of
themselves and who inspire others to do the same,''
Clinton said.
• In 1999, Korematsu was awarded with the Medal of
Freedom. "In the long history of our country's constant
search for justice, some names of ordinary citizens
stand for millions of souls,'' Clinton said as he presented
the Bay Area man with the Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
