"Never Give Up: Minoru Yasui and the fight for justice"
A documentary film by Holly Yasui and George Doolittle
Narrated by George Takei

Minoru Yasui was an American lawyer from Oregon. Born in Hood River, Oregon, he earned both an undergraduate degree and his law degree at the University of Oregon. He was one of the few Japanese Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants. His case was the first case to test the constitutionality of the curfews targeted at minority groups. This documentary covers his life and work. 

Join us at 6pm for the documentary, followed by a Skype session with Holly Yasui.
