As ICE raids terrorize American cities and executive orders test constitutional limits, Fred Korematsu’s defiance feels less like history and more like instruction. Korematsu refused to comply with Executive Order 9066, which forced Japanese Americans into incarceration camps during World War II, and spent decades fighting for justice. Cal Poly Humboldt honors his legacy with a Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution Celebration, featuring speaker Satsuki Ina on Monday, Jan. 26, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Native American Forum (BSS 162) (free). A licensed psychotherapist specializing in community trauma, Ina will present on resistance and remembrance, exploring how victims of oppression can reclaim their voices and transform the systems that harmed them.
