Wampum: Transitions: Fred Korematsu

"Fred Korematsu died this week. He was 86. He declined voluntary internment, which required the government to use force, and appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, which upheld, 6 - 3, the military necessity theory for the seizure of all Japanese-American property and assets in the Western Military District, and the confinement of American nationals at places like Tule Lake and Manazar and Topaz."
