Oct 20, 1942 — Gordon Hirabayashi was found guilty for resisting the racist curfew & exclusion orders.

But he never stopped believing in the Constitution.

Years later, his conviction was overturned.
He had been right all along.

He refused to follow exclusion orders.
He believed in the Constitution.
He did what he thought was right.

It took 44 years for the court to agree.
But yes, he was right after all.
