Don Tamaki, a lawyer and one of the leaders of the Stop Repeating History campaign, joins the podcast to discuss with Kevin (@kevinsxu) how the rationale behind locking up Americans of Japanese descent during WWII were lies, how these types of awful mistakes could be repeated in the form of Trump’s Muslim travel ban, and why Asian Americans in particular have the moral authority and imperative to speak out when civil liberties are being violated, especially during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, not just against Asian Americans but all marginalized communities.
