SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Anti- Defamation League (ADL) is proud to join in the observance of the inaugural Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Rights and the Constitution. The day honors civil rights hero Fred Korematsu, an Oakland native and Japanese-American citizen forcibly relocated to an internment camp during World War II. Fred Korematsu's lifelong struggle for justice ultimately resulted in vindication for wrongly interned Japanese-Americans, including reparations and an official apology from the U.S. government. ADL was one of a number of organizations that supported legislation sponsored by Assemblymembers Warren Furutani (D - South Los Angeles County) and Marty Block (D - San Diego) and signed into law last September to create this annual observance.
