Wow. JACL National jumps to the forefront and redeems 84 years of history with this act of much-needed leadership. Thank you David Inoue, for identifying how Japanese Americans have standing to show harm from the malicious dismantling of our institutions and civil liberties.

My dad was an FBI agent when he was ordered to arrest Japanese Americans for internment. He did it for a day, quit, joined the Navy, and spent three years fighting in the South Pacific, 28 island landings. Never regretted his decision. His lesson was, "You can always say no."

𝕰𝖒𝕲 Stuart Stevens Surely, you are not racist enough to conflate the unconstitutional arrest of innocent American citizens with defending our nation against a foreign government that had literally attacked Pearl Harbor.

Tonight, YURI is proud to be in conversation with our dear friend WE HEREBY REFUSE: a graphic novel Frank Abe and his co-editor Floyd Cheung as they present their new Penguin Books anthology, THE LITERATURE OF JAPANESE AMERICAN INCARCERATION.

Farewell to Brian Wilson. He outlived both his brothers and I'm grateful to have his music. He had already composed this bittersweet farewell for the band's 50th anniversary in 2012 with the "Summer's Gone" suite. Give it a listen to the end. youtu.be/T7LcrQ1ONlU
