George Takei, known to millions of Star Trek fans as Lieutenant Sulu, was a little boy when he and his family were taken to the Japanese Internment Camps. As with most children, he did not realize at the time the injustice his family suffered. But as he grew, he began to wonder, what does it mean to be an American? How do we stand up for what is right, not what is popular or easy? George’s life experiences leave him uniquely qualified to shed light on some of our current social issues which he does with grace and clarity in this beautifully researched and drawn graphic memoir.
