SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Court of Public Opinion
DESCRIPTION:The School of Information presents a lecture and panel discussion with R. Stanton Jones\, a Michigan alum and Washington attorney whose firm has played a central role in litigating social justice cases related to immigration detention\, gerrymandering and voter I.D. laws.\n\nThis includes high profile cases such as the Department of Commerce v. New York\, which brought into question the legality of adding citizenship status to the U.S. census. After “smoking gun” evidence was uncovered and publicized\, this case generated a high volume of social media interest. Prominent commentators have credited the enormous media attention and the accompanying public outrage/outcry with turning the outcome of the case. \n\nAnn Arbor District Library Director Josie Parker will moderate a panel discussion with Jones and Professor Christian Sandvig\, U-M School of Information and Department of Communication Studies\, and Ann Lin\, Associate Professor of Public Policy in the Ford School\n\nThis event is funded by the William Warner Bishop and Martha Boaz Lectureships.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Continuing Korematsu: Our Fight in the Trump Era
DESCRIPTION:January 30th is the Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution. On February 19th\, 1942\, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066\, one of the most blatant forms of racial profiling in US history\, which led to the forced removal and incarceration of over 120\,000 American citizens and residents on the basis of being ethnically Japanese. Fred T. Korematsu was one of many who refused to be incarcerated\, and was arrested. A national civil rights hero\, Fred Korematsu appealed his case to the Supreme Court. Although the Supreme Court ruled against him in 1944\, in 1983 his conviction was overturned in a coram nobis proceeding where Fred Korematsu addressed the court\, saying\, “I would like to see the government admit they were wrong\, and do something about it so this will never happen again to any American citizen of any race\, creed\, or color.” \n \nIn 2014 and again in 2019\, the US government attempted to reopen the Fort Sill camp to incarcerate migrant children from Latin America\; Fort Sill was previously used as a concentration camp where Native Americans and Japanese Americans were detained. In June 2017\, ICE agents raided and arrested Iraqi families in the Detroit area\, leading to the ACLU’s lawsuit\, Hamama v. Adducci. Raids on Iraqi families have continued into 2019.  \n\nOn January 30th\, APALSA's Political Action Committee\, in partnership with the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and Stop Repeating History would like to invite you to attend a screening of the documentary Alternative Facts: The Lies of Executive Order 9066 by Jon Osaki\, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A led by University of Michigan Law student Kevin Luong. \n\nThis event features incredible guest speakers: Dr. Karen Korematsu\, Don Tamaki\, Aamina Ahmed\, Mary Kamidoi\, and Michael Steinberg. Free and open to the public. Food from Curry On will be provided with RSVP: bit.ly/2tfDsnu
