 ed Korematsu's decision to resist F.D.R.'s Executive Order 9066\, which pr
 ovided authority for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War
  II\, was initially the case of a young man following his heart: he wanted
  to remain in California with his white fianc&eacute\;e. However\, he quic
 kly came to realize that it was more than just a personal choice\; it was 
 a matter of basic human rights.</p>\n<p>After refusing to leave for incarc
 eration when ordered\, Korematsu was eventually arrested and convicted of 
 a federal crime before being sent to the internment camp at Topaz\, Utah.<
 /p>\n<p>He appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court\, which\, in one o
 f the most infamous cases in American legal history\, upheld the wartime o
 rders. Forty years later\, in the early 1980s\, a team of young attorneys 
 resurrected Korematsu's case. This time\, Korematsu was victorious\, and h
 is conviction was overturned\, helping to pave the way for Japanese Americ
 an redress.</p>\n<p><strong>Series Frequently asked questions:</strong></p
