George Takei was 4 when he and his family were put in a Japanese internment camp. Ruby Bridges, the first black student to attend a white-only school during desegregation, is only 70, currently lives in New Orleans, and is a prominent civil rights activist in the area.
The US doing anything for the betterment of society was a blip in its overall history, and done in spite of this country and its values, not because of them.
Yeah, I’m glad that people are upset about it, but this isn’t a new thing for the United States. We’ve been down this road before.
Still within living memory.
