JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT: A TRAGEDY OF WAR A Reflexive Essay Presented To The Academic Faculty Amber Martinez In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies Kennesaw State University (May, 2014) 1 Japanese American internment in the United States during World War II affected thousands of lives for generations yet it remains hidden in historical memory. There have been surges of public interest since the release of the internees, such as during the Civil Rights movement and the campaign for redress, which led to renewed interest in scholarship investigating the internment. Once redress was achieved in 1988, public interest waned again as did published analysis of the internment. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, American pride and displays of homeland loyalty created a unique event in American history.

Schroeder2 I first saw Gordon Hirabayashi on March 2, 1987, when I walked into the courtroom of our Seattle Courthouse for the oral argument of his case seeking a writ of coram nobis to overturn his wartime convictions forty-four years before. I had barely heard of coram nobis, and now the opinion in his case is our leading authority on it.3 Gordon sat in the courtroom ramrod straight, and the light from the courtroom window seemed to put him in a sort of a halo. I knew it was going to be an historic day. There were all the portents. The presiding judge of our court, Ted Goodwin of Oregon, was not only a veteran federal judge, he was a veteran of World War II.4 But for the atomic bomb, in all likelihood he would have died in an invasion of Japan.

  • Ms. Venkataramanan's Essay
    The Spirit of Our Constitution By Meena Venkataramanan The Gordon Hirabayashi Campground lies just an hour north of my home in Tucson, Arizona. A coveted spot among several local campers, very few are aware of the complex history behind its name. However, to those who recognize its significance, the campground represents the enduring legacy of the tragic mass internment of Japanese-Americans that occurred during the Second World War in the interest of wartime national security – and against the spirit of the U.S. Constitution. Decades later, the United States is faced with a similar situation. As the global threat of terrorism augments, especially with respect to the Islamic State and similar organizations in the Middle East, the federal government has been faced with an increasing pressure to implement measures to curb these perils. One such measure, issued just a week after President Donald Trump took office, was a travel ban by which citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations were barred from traveling to the United States for ninety days. Although there is no explicit legal statute prohibiting discrimination based on religion with respect to travel, the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 prohibits racial discrimination in such situations, while the Equal Protection Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution both insinuate that individuals have the right to religious liberty (Hamilton). But perhaps the most decisive precedent in blocking the ban in its entirety was the decision in the 1993 case Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, which affirmed that legal actions that single out a religious group, even indirectly, are unconstitutional.
