I want people to know that she was a great teacher who loved her family and her country. She had the courage to speak out and do something about the injustice. She worked hard to pass redress. When a group of people feel
they have been treated unfairly by the government, the US Constitution guarantees you the right to redress the
government. The Japanese Americans did that and because the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was passed by
Congress, our constitution is strong again. It was weakened by Executive Order 9066 when President Roosevelt
ordered 120.000 innocent Japanese Americans into internment camps. Mary Tsukamoto always took the initiative
to follow her beliefs. She was a respected author (she wrote the book, We the People, a Story of Internment in
America), a political activist and someone who worked for world peace. She was selected by the California State
Senate as a Notable Californian.
