  resisted the draft stating\, “I will fight if you restore my rights.”
  Convicted of draft resistance in 1944\, he spent two years in federal pri
 son and was pardoned by President Truman on December 24\, 1947. Now ninety
 -nine\, Hoshizaki is one of the few surviving resisters from America’s c
 oncentration camps during World War II. He will talk with <strong>Shirley
  Ann Higuchi</strong> \, <strong>Douglas Nelson</strong> \, and <strong>
 Aura Sunada Newlin</strong> \, in a dynamic conversation moderated by <st

 . Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award for his work building the foundation a
 nd leading the effort to ensure that the principled resistance to the draf

  of the HMWF and the innovative Mineta-Simpson Institute at Heart Mountain
 \, which will open on July 27\, 2024 during the annual Pilgrimage.\n\n<em>
