  • Real Democracy in the Occupy Movement
    NO STABLE GROUND: REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT ANNA SZOLUCHA PhD Thesis Department of Sociology, Maynooth University November 2014 Head of Department: Prof. Mary Corcoran Supervisor: Dr Laurence Cox Rodzicom To my Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is an outcome of many joyous and creative (sometimes also puzzling) encounters that I shared with the participants of Occupy in Ireland and the San Francisco Bay Area. I am truly indebted to you for your unending generosity, ingenuity and determination; for taking the risks (for many of us, yet again) and continuing to fight and create. It is your voices and experiences that are central to me in these pages and I hope that you will find here something that touches a part of you, not in a nostalgic way, but as an impulse to act. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Laurence Cox, whose unfaltering encouragement, assistance, advice and expert knowledge were invaluable for the successful completion of this research. He was always an enormously responsive and generous mentor and his critique helped sharpen this thesis in many ways. Thank you for being supportive also in so many other areas and for ushering me in to the complex world of activist research. I am also grateful to Eddie Yuen who helped me find my way around Oakland and introduced me to many Occupy participants – your help was priceless and I really enjoyed meeting you. I wanted to thank Prof. Szymon Wróbel for debates about philosophy and conversations about life as well as for his continuing support.

  • March 28, 2014 President Barack
    March 28, 2014 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write on behalf of the United States Commission on Civil Rights (hereafter “the Commission”) to request formal recognition and establishment by Congress of January 30th of every year henceforth as a permanent national holiday--National Fred Koremastu Day-- and that the President issue an Executive Order declaring January 30th the Fred Korematsu National Day of Service in recognition of Fred T. Korematsu’s contribution to upholding civil rights and liberties for all citizens in our country. Fred Korematsu is a civil rights champion who was thrust into our public consciousness in 1942, when at the age of 23 he refused to go to the United States’ internment camps established for Japanese Americans in the wake of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attacks.1 Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, authorized the Secretary of War and all supporting federal agencies to detain and relocate Americans of Japanese ancestry to internment camps in the interest of national security.2 Mr. Korematsu was arrested and convicted of going against the government’s orders.3 He subsequently appealed, and his case went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled against Mr. Korematsu.4 For the Commission, this is not merely a part of history, but is personal. Commissioner Michael Yaki’s father and his family were held in an internment camp during World War II. Mr. Korematsu’s case was overturned in 1983 after a pro-bono team of attorneys re- opened his case on the basis of government misconduct after discovering the government had hidden documents which consistently showed the federal government knew that Japanese Americans were not engaged in any acts of sabotage or any other act which could be construed as against the interests of the United States.

  • Korematsu: Reflections on My Father’S Legacy
    CARRYING ON KOREMATSU: REFLECTIONS ON MY FATHER’S LEGACY KAREN KOREMATSU† Five months before he passed away, my father, Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu, gave me a charge: continue his mission to educate the public and remind people of the dangers of history. At that time, I was running my commercial interior design firm. I was far from a public speaker, educator, and civil rights advocate. However, for the previous four years I had been traveling with my aging father as he spoke to audiences across the country. On numerous occasions, I heard him tell his story and witnessed how he shared his passion for promoting social justice and education. These reflections are a tribute to and a continuation of his efforts. I When I was a junior in high school, we studied World War II in my U.S. Government and History class. For one assignment, the teacher gave each of my classmates a different paperback book relating to the war. We were asked to read the book and deliver an oral report in front of the class. I don’t recall the name of the book that I was assigned. However, what I clearly remember is the book report my friend Maya—who is sansei, third- generation Japanese American like me—presented that day. Standing in front of the class, Maya announced the title of her book: Concentration Camps U.S.A. I wondered what that could be about, as I thought concentration camps only existed in Europe. To my surprise, she went on to describe a terrible time in history when, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States government forcibly removed 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry from their homes on the West Coast.
