i’m a fourth year college student and i’m blown away at the quality and content of your teaching !! this was not the case for me in high school as we spent like a quarter of the year alone learning about “the titans that built America” lol if that doesnt tell you everything…
Thank you for making this video and helping to teach US Japanese American history. It wasn't taught to me in high school, and for many years I was forbidden/shameful to ask my grandparents about "camp" or to even speak of it. Fred Korematsu was not initially supported by the JA community but is now hailed as a hero (even by my 86-year-old grandmother). Overturning his case was integral, not only in establishing civil rights for the JA, but also in helping the surviving nisei community to heal from their traumatic childhoods in these prisons.
This video is made much easier to watch than boring stuff, mainly because of your enthusiastic behavior. Thank you for that. side note: my name is also Fred.
I love The way you explain cases man. You clearly explain the case and with great entertainment. Great Job wish you was my teacher!! well you are my online teacher. your awesome!
Is it presumptuous of me to click the like button now before even watching the video? Perhaps a testament to Hip Hughes quality and style? ...or is it just cray-cray on the internet? (I am most comfortable with the latter if it matters)
Hey Hip Hughes! I love your videos, they help me a lot, but I would recommend you to put subtitles in your videos because many people that doesn’t speak English that well (as me) struggles with the words that you say and we have to be guessing. If you put subtitles we can translate them and that way we know what you’re saying :D.
A total of 11,507 Germans and German-Americans were interned during the war, accounting for 36% of the total internments under the Justice Department's Enemy Alien Control Program. My friend's Italian grandfather was sent to a camp in Montana. Certainly not the numbers of Japanese Americans interned, but they also got no restitution. Still a big fan, just saying....
Great video once again, I really like your content! This case in particular is very interesting, because Trump's Muslim ban, is no different than what is happening here: Racial discrimination based upon one's ancestry. It will be really interesting seeing if it goes up to the SCOTUS, which undoubtedly it will, so let's hope the court doesn't repeat the past mistake!
@Diana Garcia, the issue behind the court case was the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII that was ordered by FDR due to fear of espionage. The US were fighting with the Allied Forces against the Axis Powers, which included Japan, so this spurred the fear of Japanese spies within America.
