Conscience, the Constitution and the Japanese American Draft Resistance of World War II
The emotion surrounding the issue of the Japanese American draft resistance during World War II may be better understood and appreciated by joining us in confronting a controversy that time has not put to rest. A panel moderated by Professor Arthur Hansen that includes Frank Abe, producer of the film Conscience and the Constitution; Professor Eric Muller of the University of North Carolina School of Law, author of Free To Die For Their Country: The Japanese American Draft Resisters of World War II; and Frank Emi, Heart Mountain concentration camp internee and draft resisters supporter will offer their perspectives and research findings on this issue. A film showing of Conscience and the Constitution will precede the panel discussion, and at the conclusion of the program Professor Muller will sign copies of his newly published book.
