Fighting for Civil Rights in an Era of Terror

Presenters:

* Alton Chung, professional storyteller, performs stories of heroism in the Nikkei community.
* Elden Rosethal, civil rights attorney, who gained national acclaim in the recent Brandon Mayfield case, speaks on civil rights challenges we face today in America.
