At age 23 after the pearl harbor attacks, he defied president roosevelts executive order that japanese americans report to interment camps. He was arrested, sent to a camp in utah where he stayed in a horse stall. They took his case to the Supreme Court and lost. He was interned for two years before the government closed the camps and we leased the detainees. In 1993 a federal judge overturned his conviction and in 1998 he was awarded the president ial medal of freedom. I think that he really would embrace the Resistance Movement that is happening now because he lived it and he knows how important it is to fight for these american ideals.
