Hereâs his personal story as told to the Daily News:
Iâve experienced hate and cruelty.
Whatâs happening today is the same thing Japanese Americans were subjected to in 1942 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. People were being assaulted, set on fire, had bricks thrown through their shop windows. I had just turned 5 years old.
I will never forget the morning I saw two soldiers marching up our driveway carrying rifles with bayonets. I remember their fists pounding on the door. It was terrifying. We were literally ordered out of our home at gunpoint. My mother had my baby sister in one arm and tears streaming down her cheeks.
