George Takei describes the moment when he and his family were sent to an internment camp.

“Another scene I remember now as an adult is every morning at school we started the day with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag…there was the American flag flying over the camp but I could also see the barbed wire fence and the sentry towers pointing at us from my schoolhouse window as I recited the words ‘With liberty and justice for all’.” - George Takei, The Daily Show (July 24, 2014).

Let’s not forget either that while there are people alive who remember being in those camps, there are probably also people alive who supported those camps and possibly still do.
