SUMMARY:Korematsu v. United States: Is My Father's Case Still Relevant? - Murphy Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Korematsu v. United States: Is My Father’s Case Still Relevant?\nIn 2018\, the Supreme Court overruled its notorious World War II decision upholding the removal of Fred Korematsu and tens of thousands of other innocent Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Or so it said. It announced this in Trump v. Hawaii\, a case upholding what the president called a “Muslim ban\,” so some remain doubtful that the danger of the Korematsu decision has truly passed. \nThis year’s Murphy Distinguished Lecture features Dr. Karen Korematsu on the continued relevance of her father’s legendary fight for his constitutional rights during one of the most challenging moments in U.S. history. His remarkable story of courage\, resilience\, and commitment to civil rights for all will echo loudly in the law school’s rotunda at a time when constitutional rights and values are once again challenged. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Karen Korematsu is the Founder and Executive Director of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute\nand the daughter of the late civil rights icon\, Fred Korematsu. Since her father’s passing in 2005\,\nKaren has carried on his legacy as a national public speaker and educator\, traveling throughout\nthe country advocating for civil liberties\, social justice\, civics\, and ethnic studies education.\nHer message encompasses Fred’s story\, legal history\, the relevance of his case to today’s issues\nand the promotion of Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution on January 30th\nin perpetuity for all fifty states. \nShe has presented to K-12 schools\, colleges\, universities\, law schools\, national and state\nconferences\, including the National Judicial College\, Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference and\nthe South Carolina State Judicial Conference. She has signed on to amicus briefs in several cases\nopposing violations of constitutional rights arising after 9/11\, including Odah v. United\nStates\, Turkman v. Ashcroft\, Hedges v. Obama\, and Hassan v. City of New York and Trump v.\nHawaii. \nIn 2015\, Karen was inducted as the first non-lawyer member of the National Asian Pacific\nAmerican Bar Association. She serves on the board of directors of Advancing Justice-AAJC. She\nserves on the National Advisory Board of the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality at\nthe University of California\, Irvine\, School of Law. \nShe has been interviewed on radio\, podcasts and TV. Her Op/Ed’s have appeared in the NY\nTimes and the Washington Post. Karen has received numerous awards and honors including\nGMNY 2015 Isidore Starr Award\, Muslim Advocates-Voice of Freedom Award\,\nthe ACLU Chief Justice Earl Warren Civil Liberties Award\, and in 2017 was a recipient of the\nKey to the City of Dearborn\, Michigan by the Mayor of Dearborn. \nKaren received her first honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from St. Michael’s College in\nBurlington\, Vermont\, May 2019.
