25th Anniversary of Hirabayashi v. U.S. Coram Nobis Case

Conference/Presentation

The conference will celebrate Mr. Hirabayashi’s courage in resisting military orders that culminated in the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II; reflect on his 1943 Supreme Court case that upheld his convictions and the extraordinary work of his legal team in reopening of his case nearly 40 years later; and use his case as a springboard to move forward in the struggle for civil rights.
