"Hold these Truths", a story of American forced internment.
The Lyric Stage of Boston has a show running right now that may be of interest to you as a fan of history. "Hold These Truths" tells the true story of Gordon Hirabayashi, a second-generation Japanese-American who, along with his family, was held in an American internment camp against his will during World War II. He brought a lawsuit against the US government to prevent his detention but eventually lost his last appeal in the US Supreme Court.
Information from The Lyric Stage of Boston is here.
Information (and a great story) from WBUR is here.
If you attend, let me know and I can get you some extra credit for a small amount of work on your part.
