#DrKing was a great #civil-rights #leader, but he was more than that. He was a #political #revolutionary who summoned the #nation to “undergo a #radical #revolution of #values” to #overcome “the #giant #triplets of #extreme-materialism, #racism, and #militarism.” Never forget his #vision.

And Then They Came for Us

It was a failure of American democracy, and yet because most Americans are not aware of that dark chapter of American history, it’s about to be repeated.

— George Takei, Actor and Activist

Seventy-eight years ago, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Featuring George Takei and many others who were incarcerated, as well as newly rediscovered photographs of Dorothea Lange, And Then They Came for Us brings history into the present, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban. Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it. And Then They Came for Us is a cautionary and inspiring tale for these dark times. Please partner with us to share this critical story.
