This spoken word piece was read originally at "United for Compassion" on November 22, 2016 in San Francisco's Japantown. It was a community gathering along with educators, lawyers, politicians, artists, activists, united with the Muslim community to stand up against the growing acts of racism and xenophobia in our country.
A few lines from this piece is seeing the light of day on the big screen in Abby Ginzberg and Ken Schneider's "And Then They Came For Us," now playing throughout the US.

This piece will be submitted to the Call to Action by the children of Fred Korematsu, Min Yasui, and Gordon Hirabayashi, who have asked for storytellers and artists to create more stories to be told, retold and shared in the efforts to #StopRepeatingHistory.
