*Never Give Up: Minoru Yasui and the fight for justice*
A documentary film by Holly Yasui and George Doolittle
Narrated by George Takei

Minoru Yasui was an American lawyer from Oregon. Born in Hood River,
Oregon, he earned both an undergraduate degree and his law degree at the
University of Oregon. He was one of the few Japanese Americans after the
bombing of Pearl Harbor who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese
Americans or Japanese immigrants. His case was the first case to test the
constitutionality of the curfews targeted at minority groups. This
documentary covers his life and work.
Join us at 6pm for the documentary, followed by a skype session with Holly
Yasui.
