They Called Us Enemy (20)
OFFICIAL RELEASE! The previous version I uploaded onto here was screenshots taken from a “read only” digital copy I had access to on Comixolgy. This is the official HD release from the publisher so it’s of higher quality than I was able to initially offer you. So you can discard that version and replace it with this one, HOWEVER: for some reason my version was 7 pages longer than this one and even the back cover is somewhat different - so you may want to keep both.
George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father’s - and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future.
In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten “relocation centers,” hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.
They Called Us Enemy is Takei’s firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism, his mother’s hard choices, his father’s faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future.（G5V.NET）
