Actor George Takei's manga on internment promotes lesson for future english.kyodonews.net

I'm the last of the generation that actually experienced (U.S. internment during World War II)," he said.
"The reason I chose the manga style of telling this story is when I was a kid, I loved comic books.
"Most Japanese Americans of my parents' generation felt the pain and the humiliation and the degradation of the internment so profoundly that they didn't want to inflict it on their children.
In this respect, "my father was a very unusual Japanese American."
With his belief that "people can do great things," Takei's father instilled in him a lifelong passion for political activism.
