Korematsu Vs United States (Los Angeles, CA)

Korematsu Vs. United States
East West Players

In recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Korematsu v. US (1944), East West Players and SCOTUS Theater will host a reading featuring excerpts from this case and from Trump v. Hawaii (2018). In Korematsu, the Court declared the internment of Japanese-Americans constitutional; Trump v. Hawaii overturned Korematsu but upheld bans on travel from multiple Muslim-majority countries. A post-show discussion will provide context, engaging questions of justice, liberty, exclusion, and the limitations of the courts. Aimed at artists, activists, citizens, and community leaders, this event is presented in partnership with East West Players. Directed by Becca Wolff.
