Thursday is “Fred Korematsu Day,” a day set aside to commemorate Oakland-born Fred Korematsu, who resisted the internment of Japanese Americans all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
It is also the day KQED’s Michelle Wiley and Tyche Hendricks published an extensive account of the Trump administration’s family separation policy.
I wish I could say this is a cartoon wrap-up of the cruel policy that tore migrant families apart, but the ripple effects are far from wrapped-up.
There will be more cartoons.
Like the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, recent family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border are a stain on the ongoing history of the United States.
