Importance of Korematsu's Case Will Live On
Letter to the Editor - It is with great sadness that I learned of the death of Fred Korematsu, who died on March 30. The Oakland-born Korematsu was a true American hero.

He defied the order to be interned and was arrested. His case eventually was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
