12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: that in order to make history, you have to make

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: some noise.

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,159

00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Hello? Hello? Oh you know what? Maybe I should hang out.

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: If you put this phone down, the number will be unreachable.

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: You will never speak with a representative. You will never

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: solve the problem you have called.

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess I have to stay on.

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: You're English muffins already now transferring you to the breakfast helpline.

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: It's historical records.

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: You are now listening to historical We're called to make history.

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: You got to have struggled to make history.

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 5: You got to show poised, cannot be.

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Quiet loud as a riot to make history. You gotta

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: make some noise.

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 6: Welcome back to historical records the show where we dig

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: into the historical records in order to produce historically themed records.

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 6: I'm your resident historian, Lee, and normally Niminy would do

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 6: this intro, but well, I came upstairs and found her

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 6: huddled in the corner on the phone, muttering to herself

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 6: and hate. Niminy must stay on the line. Hmm, she

53
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 6: can't hear me. Today's episode is about the heroic actions

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 6: of Mitsie Endo. But first I need to get Nimini's attention.

55
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 6: I haven't tried yelling at her yet, so I'll do

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 6: that now.

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Nmona, I'm on the phone.

58
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 7: We have a show to do.

59
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's just I've been trying to

60
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: reach customer support. We got a notice from the Secret

61
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Laboratory Owners Association that said we need to prove we

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: live here by the end of the day or they'll

63
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: shut off our bug spray woo.

64
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 6: But the sandflies are getting bold enough as it is.

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: That got sandflies.

66
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 6: They're getting bigger too. Wait, what does proving we live

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 6: here even mean?

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to find out, but they

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: put me on hold all morning.

70
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 6: And you're using a landline phone, so it's attached to

71
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 6: the wall.

72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: Huh, yeah, I can't move very far.

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 6: It looks like the phone court is stretchy though you

74
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 6: might not be able to get all the way to

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 6: the library, but they're still another way to connect to

76
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 6: the history simulator.

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Follow me, all right, I'll stretch the court as much

78
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: as I can. Okay, who's today's.

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 6: Episode about Midsaya Endo. She was one of around one

80
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans who were detained in

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 6: the US internment camps.

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Internment camp? What's that? In this case?

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 6: It's a prison camp that holds prisoners of war.

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't sound like a nice place to be.

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: It's not.

86
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 6: But Mitsia's Supreme Court case paved the way for those

87
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 6: camps getting shut down.

88
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: Wow. I'm kind of embarrassed to say, but I didn't

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: know anything about all that.

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 6: Honestly, Nimini, not a lot of people do. She didn't

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 6: get a ton of attention, and she didn't ask for it.

92
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 6: Not even her kids knew what she'd done until they

93
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: were adults. Hold on this.

94
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Way, what is this in office? How did I not

95
00:04:59,320 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: know about this?

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 6: It's the historical records backstage area. We're not really supposed

97
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 6: to use it on the show, but it's the only

98
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 6: way the phone cord will reach.

99
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Wait, are these exhausted looking people in ill fitting loungewear

100
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: are the writers of this show? They're writing everything we're

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: saying right now. I can see it happening as I'm saying, Nimini.

102
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 6: No, don't get too close to them. They'll just try

103
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 6: to give you their lunch orders. Last I am starving.

104
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Run Niminie, run run. The phone cour doesn't have much

105
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: more gives through here. Whoa wee? This room's covered in

106
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: telephone wires and plugs and knots and stuff. What is

107
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: this some sort of old timy nineteen forties switchboard?

108
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 6: That's exactly what it is. Welcome to the History Simulator switchboard.

109
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 6: This will let us use the history simulator while staying

110
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 6: on hold.

111
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: So we just plug this wire into the phone and

112
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: then plug the other end into these they're called phone holes.

113
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I think I don't spend a lot of time in

114
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: here either way.

115
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 6: Just plug the phone into one of the phone holes

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 6: and then switch to the other line. Then dial nine,

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 6: and then the year, and then the pound sign, and

118
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 6: we should be connected to.

119
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: The right time. Probably. I'm starting to see why you

120
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: preferred the goo okay plug switch to nine two dial nine.

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 6: Dial nineteen forty two.

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: One nine four two pound the rules changing.

123
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 6: It just takes a little fine tuning to build the

124
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 6: simulation this way, but we'll get there.

125
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 8: Big is an emergency broadcast. Japan has launched an attack

126
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 8: on Pearl Harbor. This marks the official entry of the

127
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 8: United States into World War two.

128
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 9: President Roosevelt has enacted Executive Order nine zero sixty six,

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 9: establishing the West Coast as a military zone and allowing

130
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 9: the government to relocate anyone deemed necessary.

131
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 10: Recently established more relocation authority has begun the process of

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 10: relocating the Japanese into internment camps, even those with American citizenship.

133
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 10: As anti Japanese sentiment has risen sharply, some have questioned

134
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 10: the legitimacy of these actions as a necessary wartime measure.

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: What were all those broadcasts just some radio cross talk.

136
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 6: We'll probably pick up a lot of that using the

137
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 6: history simulator this way.

138
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: I guess the extra context doesn't hurt. But are we

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: in the right place? This looks like a law office.

140
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 6: It sure is. Can't beat all that natural musty smell

141
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 6: that's the smell of justice.

142
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: What are we doing snooping around an empty lawyer's office.

143
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Isn't this breaking and entering? Of course not. We didn't

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: break anything.

145
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 6: That face was broken when we got here.

146
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?

147
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 6: This is James Purcell's office in San Francisco. He wanted

148
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 6: to challenge the legitimacy of what the US government did

149
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 6: when they removed Japanese these Americans from their homes and

150
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 6: placed them in internment camps. So he wanted to find

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 6: the perfect subject to put together a test case.

152
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing that perfect subject was Mitsuie Indo.

153
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 6: Bingo, which means he's done a ton of research on

154
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 6: her already. Look at these notes on his desk. They're

155
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 6: all about her life.

156
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: It says, nise. What does that mean?

157
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 6: Well, Ni means too, and say is like life or

158
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 6: in this case generation, So Nise are second generation immigrants,

159
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 6: meaning they were born here in the US.

160
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that makes sense. It says Mitsuye was born

161
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: and raised in Sacramento, California, twenty two years old. She's

162
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: never been to Japan, doesn't know Japanese, has a brother

163
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: currently serving in the military. Not Buddhist what's that have

164
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to do with anything, you know.

165
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: How, those broadcasts we heard said that there was a

166
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 6: lot of suspicion towards Japanese people in general that actually

167
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: started before the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were being

168
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 6: closely monitored just for participating in local Japanese cultural associations

169
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 6: or for simply being Buddhist.

170
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: So the attack on Pearl Harbor probably just accelerated that.

171
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 6: After the attack, Japanese people who had nothing to do

172
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 6: with it were affected right away. Around three hundred to

173
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 6: five hundred state employees were harassed at work until they

174
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 6: were eventually laid off just for having Japanese heritage. That

175
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 6: included Endo, who worked at the Department of Employment.

176
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: So Mitsuier was an American born Christian who worked for

177
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: the American government with the brother on active duty in

178
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: the American military. On paper, she sounds like the least

179
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: suspicious person in the world.

180
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 6: That's exactly what James Purcell was banking on. He wanted

181
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 6: to present someone who even the most suspicious judge couldn't

182
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 6: possibly describe as disloyal to the United States. By using

183
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 6: the perfect model of an American citizen, he could show

184
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 6: that the government had illegally detained people without a shured

185
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 6: of proof that they were enemies of the US.

186
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: So what happened next? He went to talk to her.

187
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 6: Funnily enough, they never met in in real life. They

188
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 6: mostly communicated through official correspondence, which is why it's up

189
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 6: to the two of us to deliver this letter to her.

190
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Us. What happened to the mailman?

191
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 6: The mailman smashed a vase right before we got here

192
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 6: and went on the run, So it's up to us

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 6: to finish the job.

194
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: Lee, I saw you smash the base. Whose side are

195
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: you on here?

196
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 6: Just dial the code for two Lee Lake and let's

197
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 6: deliver this letter.

198
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: Sure, uh so it's.

199
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Dial nine nine and then put in the area code.

200
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 6: So five zero three five zero three star one nine

201
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 6: four to two star one nine four two.

202
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,359
Speaker 8: The Touley Lake relocation set her posting over eighteen thousand residents,

203
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 8: all living in close quarters, complete with eight foot high

204
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 8: double fences, minos of barbed wire, and thousands of bombed guards.

205
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 8: You'll feel secure knowing you can't leave.

206
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 11: Have you filled out your loyalty questionnaire? Simply answer yes

207
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 11: to thirty quick questions and you'll learn back our trust,

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 11: prove that you're worthy of lee camps by pledging your

209
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 11: willingness to renounce the Japanese ever and to serve in

210
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 11: our military Habeas corpus.

211
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 9: It's a legal document protesting an un lawful attainment.

212
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 10: By requesting an appearance in front of a court or judge.

213
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 7: If you've been relocated.

214
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 8: Against your will, this just might be the right legal

215
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 8: move for you.

216
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: What was that propaganda ads?

217
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, from the sound of it, this internment camp, the

218
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 6: loyalty questionnaires, they were blatant actions to limit the freedoms

219
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 6: of Japanese Americans that the government still tried to paint

220
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 6: the picture that they were doing it for the good

221
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 6: of the country.

222
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: And that last one about habeas corpus, that's what we're

223
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: here to deliver to Endo, right.

224
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

225
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 6: The case hinges on the fact that bringing her and

226
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 6: everyone else to the camps without a trial violated their

227
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 6: constitutional rights.

228
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: This place really is intimidating. It's entirely fenced in. There's

229
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: barbed wire as far as the eye can see. And

230
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: they weren't kidding about the armed guards. Are you sure

231
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: we can be in here? Look at our outfits.

232
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: We're just as mailmen now and as far as this

233
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 6: historical simulation goes, mail men are allowed to be anywhere.

234
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: You take a lot of liberties with your stimulations.

235
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 6: Hey, hey, I don't tell you how to do your job,

236
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 6: even though I think your songs could stand to use

237
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 6: a little more tambourine.

238
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Are you two mail men lost? Are you

239
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: mitsuier endo? I am? What can I do for you?

240
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 6: Actually, we were sent here to deliver this letter to you. Oh,

241
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 6: thank you.

242
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: Hmmm, if I'm understanding this correctly, mister Purcell is asking

243
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: for my help to sue the US government.

244
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 6: We know it's a lot of responsibility, but I'll do it.

245
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: Really, simple as that, simple as that. We were all

246
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 4: brought here without any sort of trial. But by using

247
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 4: me we can show them that what they've done to

248
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: us is wrong. If this can help everyone else out,

249
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: then there's no question about it.

250
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 6: I have to do it. We thought you'd say that.

251
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 6: We'll let mister Purcell know right away.

252
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: Thank you.

253
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 4: I hope it's a quick process.

254
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Up, Please excuse me, I have to get to the

255
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: mess hall. It was nice to meet you. It was

256
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: nice meeting you too. She knows it won't be a

257
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: quick process, doesn't she.

258
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, And not just because she used to be a

259
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 6: government employee. Her case will be delayed, dismissed, and worked around.

260
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: You mean they're gonna try to get her to drop

261
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: the case.

262
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 6: Yep, and this place to Lee Lake. It's gonna get worse.

263
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 6: The conditions are gonna reach the point where Endo wishes

264
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 6: that she could leave, and the war Relocation Authority starts

265
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 6: cutting deals that let people in midsea situation relocate outside

266
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 6: of California. But if she leaves the state, the court

267
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 6: no longer has jurisdiction over her case and it'll be dropped.

268
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: So she'll refuse the chance to get out of here.

269
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 6: Because just like she said, she's gonna do the thing

270
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 6: that helps people, no matter how difficult it gets.

271
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: Let me guess they'll find a way to move her anyway.

272
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 6: Her case will be dismissed and they'll move her to Utah.

273
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh my head hurts from all the legal system logistics.

274
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: How'd our case ever make it to the Supreme Court?

275
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 6: You mean because we never went back to relay her

276
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 6: message to Purcell.

277
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: It's a simulation.

278
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 6: Any a different mailman went back to tell him, probably

279
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 6: after he apologized for smashing that priceless face with your fingerprints.

280
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: All over it. My fingerprints.

281
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I planted your fingerprints on it so I wouldn't

282
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 6: get blamed.

283
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: Is that a crime?

284
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: Yes?

285
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Not in my simulation, it's not.

286
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 6: Forget the vase, you're the one fixating on it.

287
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: I meant, how did her case make it to the

288
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Supreme Court? After all that?

289
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 6: James Purcell filed an appeal and made sure it got

290
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 6: elevated all the way there here, let me dial us

291
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 6: in nine nineteen forty four pound pound star number pad smash.

292
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 8: In the case of Hirobayashi versus the United States, in

293
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 8: the case.

294
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 9: Of Yusui versus the United States, in the case of

295
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 9: Kormonts versus the United States.

296
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: What were those other cases?

297
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 6: They were the three other challenges to the internment camps

298
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 6: that made it to the Supreme Court, but they all failed.

299
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good. I'm guessing we're at the Supreme Court.

300
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 9: Then.

301
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: What gave it away?

302
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 6: The nine Supreme Court justices glaring at us, Yeah, that

303
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: was it.

304
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: Can we even be in here?

305
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 7: You too, the mailman, You shouldn't be in here, your honor.

306
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 6: We were in here to deliver a letter, but we

307
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 6: accidentally superglued our butts to the seats. Is it okay

308
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 6: if we just observe the rest of the proceedings while

309
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 6: we wait for someone to unbolt our seats from the

310
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 6: ground and carry us home.

311
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 7: I don't know what to say to that, but we're

312
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 7: running short on time, so I'll allow it. Let's move

313
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 7: on to our final decision on mitsuye Endo versus the

314
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 7: United States. We are of the view that mitsuye Endo

315
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 7: should be given her liberty, for we conclude that whatever

316
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 7: power the War Relocation Authority may have to de tell

317
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 7: other classes of citizens, it has no authority to subject

318
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 7: citizens who are concededly loyal to its leave procedure.

319
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Wait. That means she won, right she did.

320
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 6: Out of the four cases elevated to the Supreme Court

321
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 6: surrounding the issues of Japanese internment, hers was the only

322
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: case that was ruled in favor of the plaintiff. After this,

323
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 6: President Roosevelt reversed the executive order and citizens were allowed

324
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 6: to go home.

325
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: But a court ruling's not like waving a magic wand

326
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: is it. It doesn't just change back everything that went wrong.

327
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 6: No, And unlike the super glue I put on our pants,

328
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 6: its effect isn't immediate Endo stayed in the camp for

329
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 6: another five months to look after her parents, and after that, well,

330
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 6: it's not like the communities that most of these people

331
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 6: were kicked out of didn't suddenly stop being suspicious of

332
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 6: Japanese Americans. A lot of people didn't even have homes

333
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 6: to return to.

334
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: I can imagine I wouldn't go back to that. It

335
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: couldn't have been easy finding new housing or jobs after

336
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: being ripped away and then kept away for all that time.

337
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 6: She actually never even went back to California. Eventually she

338
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 6: made her way to Chicago. She wanted to put this

339
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 6: whole thing behind her, like I'm sure a lot of

340
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 6: others did, including the US government itself.

341
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: What do you mean dial nine and then nineteen eighty eight? Wait,

342
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, as in forty years later? Mm hmmugh, okay,

343
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: huh a conference room, Hanna.

344
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 6: Is that the president of the Screen Actors Guild Ronald Reagan? Yes,

345
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 6: but in nineteen eighty eight, Ronald Reagan was also the.

346
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: President of the United States.

347
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 6: Did you notice that the language in the Supreme Court's

348
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 6: ruling didn't mention racial discrimination.

349
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now that I think about it, it just

350
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: said that the government couldn't detain people who were decidedly loyal.

351
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: So was that how Indo could in her case while

352
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: the other cases were all struck down exactly.

353
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 6: This press conference with former ZAG President Reagan is the

354
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 6: first time that the US is officially apologizing to the

355
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans who were wrongfully detained.

356
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 12: Yet we must recognize that the internment of Japanese Americans

357
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 12: was just that a mistake. For throughout the war, Japanese

358
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 12: Americans in the tens of thousands remained utterly loyal to

359
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 12: the United.

360
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 6: States better late than ever, I guess remember the other

361
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 6: three cases, Hirabayashi, Yasui, and Korematsu. Losing those cases wasn't

362
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 6: just a loss for Japanese Americans, but also for those

363
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 6: three individuals. They were technically considered convicts, which is something

364
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 6: that makes it pretty hard to find a job. Even

365
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 6: after this apology, it wouldn't be until twenty eighteen that

366
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 6: those three cases officially got overturned, clearing their names. Twenty eighteen, Yeah,

367
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: forty more years.

368
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: But for now, let's get back to the lab.

369
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 6: Switch back to line one.

370
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 13: Lee.

371
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: I know that technically we saw Indo win her case.

372
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: But I know nineteen forty two all the way to

373
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen, history is full of regrettable decisions and mistakes

374
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 6: of things that still need to be acknowledged and corrected.

375
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: But if things move that slowly, how are any of

376
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: us supposed to change anything?

377
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 6: It does seem daunting and complicated and overwhelming. But the

378
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 6: things we actually do, our actions, those can be simple.

379
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: How do you mean Midsea.

380
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: Endo didn't set out to change the world. She was

381
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 6: just offered a chance to do what was right. Someone

382
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 6: said to her, we need you to play a part.

383
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Can you do that? And she said yes?

384
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: And she said yes, She took a small quiet action,

385
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 6: stayed determined, and that set everything else in motion. Winning

386
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 6: her case effectively led to the end of the internment

387
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 6: camp and made way for the reversals of the other

388
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 6: three cases decades later.

389
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: It's like she said, if it helps other people, I'll

390
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: do it. Even if the system itself is imperfect, it's

391
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: people who ultimately make sure it works. And people will

392
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: make mistakes and corrections and try their best to do

393
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: what's right, even if it takes a long time.

394
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 6: Speaking of taking a long time, you got a song for.

395
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: Us or what you bet I do? All right, everyone,

396
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: it's time to celebrate smid City eight in those heroic

397
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: actions with this brand new trek.

398
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 14: Well the Empire of the Just on the Red, Light

399
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 14: and Blue the bat was run by the batty. Outcome

400
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 14: was that you enjoying World War two and the theater?

401
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: Or are the subjects of Mendia chung.

402
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: But the song will explore, how are you as sure

403
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 5: something destardbly happened at home? At the time Japanese on

404
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 5: the West end of America had that loyalties question.

405
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: Franklin Roosebelm did the.

406
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 5: Worst with his best friend and declared to Congress and

407
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 5: the world that if you de said did from the

408
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: land of the Yen, you were now an alien. Doesn't

409
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 5: matter citizen order fors or second gent to the men,

410
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 5: you're subject to the acts of sedition laws with the

411
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 5: terrible tradition. So the Usnate trips were on a mission

412
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 5: to round up the Nisay and he say in prisons

413
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 5: against the will and without any discernment.

414
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Thus began the policy that we not all internment.

415
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 13: They said free, but then they roved humans their humanity.

416
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 13: So I asked, how can you a fight when you

417
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 13: lost that wage made internment condenses.

418
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 5: The camps are intense.

419
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 8: It's at test to.

420
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: Be ripped from your home.

421
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 5: Gomard wire offences and armguard defenses who shoot you if

422
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 5: you try to go. When pressures oppressive, some books get inventive.

423
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 5: They look for that opposite force.

424
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: No, they won't be pensive. They're on the offensive. And

425
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: they saw recourse in the courts the Japanese.

426
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 5: American Citizens League, not the American in their citizenry. You

427
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 5: wanted to challenge Roosevelt politically, and we're certain that a

428
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 5: journey again judge will agree. So three men, Gordon and

429
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 5: Rabbay Yashi, Fred Koremats and Minova Yasubi had a law degree.

430
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 5: They thought possibly that they could stop this central city

431
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 5: with honesty. But they got popped in the job by hypocrisy,

432
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 5: lost their steam, dropped to it not for three and

433
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 5: it backed up where they didn't wanna be, in turn,

434
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 5: in turn interminably in.

435
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Free There are some the striving for the y I ask,

436
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: how can you fight when you're down?

437
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: Even so, World War two rages conflict of the ages.

438
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: The people in turn still strive to bring from their

439
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: cages and start on new pages. But that dream is

440
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 5: barely alive for sell their esquires, getting real tired of

441
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 5: looking for our cases that can go until he's inspired

442
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 5: by someone who's fired and her name to an Endo

443
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 5: Kendo born in Sacramento, was employed by the State Board,

444
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: but then wistftly let go after the harber abtexts, which

445
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 5: director they counter acts.

446
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: The spirit of most US manifesto. They case the court

447
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: on a Habeus written, but the judge.

448
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 5: In a thing that her case was legit, but the

449
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: US government knew something else about it, so they overmade

450
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 5: him just for only her, and she said no way.

451
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: More years locked in the fort.

452
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 5: Waiting until she reached the Supreme Court, debating, this is

453
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 5: the price they make you pay for freedom makes a

454
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 5: taste even swat when you really be one find day free.

455
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 5: We will when they try to take ar humanity. Remember

456
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 5: this Humastos fine for etecting all human rights is the

457
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 5: only thing as well.

458
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 9: She won.

459
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: Me, She made him, made him.

460
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 5: One bind day free. We will not one day try

461
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 5: to take humanity ember.

462
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 14: This is hi efecting.

463
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 7: All right, is the only thing.

464
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after a few words for the

465
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: grown ups. All right, what a great song. It's a

466
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: lot better than the hold music.

467
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 6: You're still on hold?

468
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I've been holding the phone and gets

469
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: my ear the whole time.

470
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 6: Oh, I thought you just forgot how to put things down.

471
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: That makes more sense, though. I'm okay with this though.

472
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: If I've learned anything from today, it's that even small,

473
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: simple actions can bring about great change. I'm responsible for

474
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,040
