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.
Still within living memory.
