Hold These Truths

During WWII in Seattle, University of Washington student Gordon Hirabayashi fights the US government's orders to forcibly remove and incarcerate all people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast. As he struggles to reconcile his country's betrayal with his passionate belief in the US Constitution, Gordon begins a 50-year journey toward a greater understanding of America's triumphs - and a confrontation with its failures.

Includes an interview with playwright Jeanne Sakata.

Hold These Truths is sponsored in part by the California Civil Liberties Program from the California State Library.
