Remembering civil rights activist

SEATTLE, United States - Jay Hirabayashi (2nd from R), son of civil rights activist Gordon Hirabayashi, Judge Mary Schroeder (2nd from L) and other people associated with the late Hirabayashi, who fought the United States' internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, attend an event to commemorate his activities on Feb. 11, 2012, in Seattle. Gordon Hirabayashi, who was jailed for violating the curfew and internment orders, appealed his conviction before the U.S. Supreme Court and lost. Decades later in 1987, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in an opinion authored by Schroeder, overturned his conviction after he reopened his case in 1983.
