It's such an injustice that we weren't taught enough (if at all) about the Japanese internment camps. George Takei is a familiar face on screen, so it's even more of a shock hearing his first hand experience in an internment camp as a kid.

Reparations didn't arrive until over 40 years later, but this graphic novel shows us a progressive timeline of the internment camps from the perspective of an innocent child in the 1940s, along with its impact to our current political climate. He lived in Japanese internment camps for 4 years...
