It was a compact between the U.S. Government and those unfortunate individuals who were unjustifiably evacuated. relocated. and interned during World War II. By this compact. the United States apologized for the grave injustice suffered by U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry. We vowed that such violations would not reoccur. and obligated ourselves to provide restitution for the hardships and losses they suffered. Let history record that through the efforts of this boy from the small town of Kukuiula. the son of immigrants. who rose to become a Senator of the United States. that this noble cause became a reality and the Civil Liberties Act became law.
