"Detained Voices" (A triptych) During World War II, not only did some Japanese Americans refuse to relocate to internment camps, but they also fought federal orders to do so in court. These men rightfully argued that the government depriving them of the right to walk outside at night and live in their own homes violated their civil liberties. The courts ruled against these brave men.
With this triptych "Detained Voices", I pay honor and respect to the three men, Fred Korematsu, Gordon Kiyoshi Hirabayashi, and Minoru Yasui for their bravery. They showed great courage in exposing the injustice of the internments of their countrymen living in the United States. Many others took their cases to SCOTUS, but these three are the most famous and precedent-setting cases.
