33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: You will never speak with a representative. You will never

00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,720

00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,639

Speaker 2: to the breakfast helpline.

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Store, Hope reccords. You are now listening to Historical We're

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: called to make history. You got to have struggles to

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: make history. You got to show poise. Cannot be quiet

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: loud as the riot to make history, you gotta make

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: some noise.

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: Welcome back to Historical Records, the show where we dig

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: into the historical records in order to produce historically themed records.

45
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 5: I'm your resident historian, Lee, and normally Nimini would do

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: this intro. But well, I came upstairs and found her

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 5: huddled in the corner on the phone, muttering to herself

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: and hate Niminy.

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: Must stay on the line.

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 5: Hmm, she can't hear me. Today's episode is about the

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 5: heroic actions of Mitsie Endo. But first I need to

52
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 5: get Nimini's attention. I haven't tried yelling at her yet,

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: so I'll do that now.

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Hey, nemone, I'm on phone. We have a show to do.

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's just I've been trying to

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: reach customer support. We got a notice from the Secret

57
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: Laboratory Owners Association that said we need to prove we

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: live here by the end of the day or they'll

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: shut off our bug spray woo.

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: But the sandflies are getting bold enough as it is.

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: That got sand flies.

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: They're getting bigger too. Wait, what does proving we live

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: here even mean?

64
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to find out. But they

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: put me on hold all morning.

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 5: And you're using a landline phone, so it's attached to

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 5: the wall.

68
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah, I can't move very far.

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: It looks like the phone cord is stretchy though. You

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: might not be able to get all the way to

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: the library. But there's still another way to connect to

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 5: the history simulator.

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Follow me, all right, I'll stretch the cord as much

74
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: as I can. Okay, who's today's episode about Midsaya Endo?

75
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 5: She was one of around one hundred twenty thousand Japanese

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: Americans who were detained in the US internment camps.

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: Internment camp? What's that?

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 5: In this case? It's a prison camp that holds prisoners

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 5: of war.

80
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't sound like a nice place to be.

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 5: It's not, but Mitsi as Supreme Court case paved the

82
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: way for those camps getting shut down.

83
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm kind of embarrassed to say, but I didn't

84
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: know anything about all that.

85
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 5: Honestly, Nimini, not a lot of people do. She didn't

86
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: get a ton of attention, and she didn't ask for it.

87
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 5: Not even her kids knew what she'd done until they

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: were adults. Hold on this.

89
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: Way, what is this an office? How did I not

90
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: know about this place?

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 5: It's the historical records backstage area.

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: We're not really.

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 5: Supposed to use it on the show, but it's the

94
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: only way the phone court will reach.

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: Wait, are these exhausted looking people in ill fitting loungewear

96
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: are the right of this show? They're writing everything we're

97
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: saying right now. I can see it happening as I'm saying, Nimini.

98
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 5: No, don't get too close to them. They'll just try

99
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: to give you their lunch orders. I am starving.

100
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Run niminie run run. The phone core doesn't have much

101
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: more kids through here. Whoa ree? This room's covered in

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: telephone wires and plugs and knots and stuff. What is

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: this some sort of old timy nineteen forty switchboard.

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: That's exactly what it is. Welcome to the History simulator switchboard.

105
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 5: This will let us use the history simulator while staying

106
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: on hold.

107
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: So we just plug this wire into the phone and

108
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: then plug the other end into one of these.

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: They're called phone holes.

110
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: I think I don't spend a lot of time in

111
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: here either way.

112
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 5: Just plug the phone into one of the phone holes

113
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: and then switch to the other line. Then dial nine,

114
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 5: and then the year, and then the pound sign, and

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 5: we should be connected to the right time.

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: Probably. I'm starting to see why you preferred the goo

117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: okay plug switch to nine two dial nine.

118
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 5: Dial nineteen forty two one.

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: Nine four two pound the rules changing.

120
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 5: It just takes a little fine tuning to build the

121
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 5: simulation this way, but we'll get there.

122
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 6: This is an emergency broadcast. Japan has launched an attack

123
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 6: on Pearl Harbor. This marks the official entry of the

124
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 6: United States interer World War.

125
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: Two, President Roosevelt has an acted Executive Order nine zero

126
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: sixty six establishing the West Coast as a military zone

127
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: and allowing the government to relocate anyone deemed necessary.

128
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 7: Recently established more relocation authority has begun the process of

129
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 7: relocating the Japanese into internment camps, even those with American citizenship.

130
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 7: As anti Japanese sentiment has risen sharply, some.

131
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 8: Have questioned the legitimacy of these actions as a necessary war.

132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: What were all those broadcasts?

133
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 5: Just some radio crosstalk. We'll probably pick up a lot

134
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: of that using the history simulator this way.

135
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: I guess the extra context doesn't hurt. But are we

136
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: in the right place? This looks like a law office,

137
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: It sure is.

138
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: Can't beat all that natural musty smell. That's the smell

139
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: of justice.

140
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: What are we doing snooping around an empty lawyer's office?

141
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Isn't this breaking and entering? Of course not.

142
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: We didn't break anything. That face was broken when we

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: got here.

144
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?

145
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: This is James Purcell's office in San Francisco. He wanted

146
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: to challenge the legitimacy of what the US government did

147
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 5: when they removed Japanese Americans from their homes and place

148
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: them in internment camps. So he wanted to find the

149
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: perfect subject to put together a test case.

150
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing that perfect subject was Mitsuie.

151
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: Indo Bingo, which means he's done a ton of research

152
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,119
Speaker 5: on her already. Look at the notes on his desk.

153
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: They're all about her life.

154
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: It says, Nise. What does that mean?

155
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: Well, Ni means too and say is like life or

156
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 5: in this case generation, So nise our second generation immigrants,

157
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: meaning they were born here in the US.

158
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that makes sense. It says Mitsuye was born

159
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: and raised in Sacramento, California, twenty two years old. She's

160
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: never been to Japan, doesn't know Japanese, has a brother

161
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: currently serving in the military. Not Buddhist. What's that have

162
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: to do with anything? You know?

163
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 5: How, those broadcasts we heard said that there was a

164
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 5: lot of suspicion towards Japanese people in general that actually

165
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 5: started before the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were being

166
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: closely monitored just for participating in local Japanese cultural associations

167
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: or for simply being Buddhist.

168
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: So the attack on Pearl Harbor probably just accelerated that.

169
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 5: After the attack, Japanese people who had nothing to do

170
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 5: with it were affected right away. Around three hundred to

171
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 5: five hundred State employees were harassed at work until they

172
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 5: were eventually laid off just for having Japanese heritage. That

173
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: included Endo, who worked at the Department of Employment.

174
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: So Mitsuier was an American born Christian who worked for

175
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: the American government with the brother on active duty in

176
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the American military. On paper, she sounds like the least

177
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: suspicious person in the world.

178
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 5: That's exactly what James Purcell was banking on. He wanted

179
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: to present someone who even the most suspicious judge couldn't

180
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: possibly describe as disloyal to the United States. By using

181
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: the perfect model of an American citizen, he could show

182
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: that the government had illegally detained people without a shured

183
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: of proof that they were enemies of the US.

184
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: So what happened next? He went to talk to her.

185
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: Funnily enough, they never met in real life. They mostly

186
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 5: communicated through official correspondence, which is why it's up to

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 5: the two of us to deliver this letter to her.

188
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: Us. What happened to the mailman?

189
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 5: The mailman smashed a vase right before we got here

190
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 5: and went on the run. So it's up to us

191
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 5: to finish the job.

192
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: Lee, I saw you smash the base.

193
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: Whose side are you on here? Just dial the code

194
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 5: for tu Lee Lake and let's deliver this letter. Sure,

195
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: Uh so it's yeah, Dial nine nine and then put

196
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: in the area code. So five zero three.

197
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Five zero three star one nine four to two star

198
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: one nine two.

199
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 6: The Tuley Lake Relocation better posting over eighteen thousand residents,

200
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 6: all living in close quarters, complete with eight foot high

201
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 6: double fences, miles of barbed wire, and thousands of bombed guards.

202
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 6: You'll feel secure knowing you can't leave.

203
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: Have you built out your loyalty questionnaire? Simply answer yes,

204
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: Just thirty quick questions and you'll learn back our trust.

205
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: Prove that you're worthy of leaving the camps by pledging.

206
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 8: Your willingness to renounce the Japanese effror and to serve

207
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 8: in our military abeus Corpus.

208
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: It's a legal document protesting an unlawful entertainment.

209
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 7: By requesting an appearance in front of.

210
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: A court or judge.

211
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: If you've been relocated.

212
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 9: Against your will, just might be the right legal movement

213
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 9: for you.

214
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: What was that propaganda ads.

215
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, from the sound of it, this internment camp, the

216
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 5: loyalty questionnaires, they were blatant actions to limit the freedoms

217
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 5: of Japanese Americans that the government still tried to paint

218
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 5: the picture that they were doing it for the good

219
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: of the country.

220
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: And that last one about habeas corpus, that's what we're

221
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: here to deliver to Endo, right.

222
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, The case hinges on the fact that bringing her

223
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 5: and everyone else to the camps without a trial violated

224
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: their constitutional rights.

225
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: This place really is intimidating. It's entirely Finston. There's barbed

226
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: wire as far as the eye can see. And they

227
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: weren't kidding about the armed guards. Are you sure we

228
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: can be in here? Look at our outfits.

229
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: We're just as mailmen now, And as far as this

230
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 5: historical simulation goes, mail men are allowed to be anywhere.

231
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: You take a lot of liberties with your simulations.

232
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, I don't tell you how to do your job,

233
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 5: even though I think your songs could stand to use

234
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 5: a little more tambourine.

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 10: Excuse me, are you two mailmen lost?

236
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: Are you mitsuier? Endo? I am?

237
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 10: What can I do for you?

238
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 5: Actually, we were sent here to deliver this letter to you.

239
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 10: Oh, thank you.

240
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Hmmm.

241
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 10: If I'm understanding this correctly, mister Purcell is asking for

242
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 10: my help to sue the US government.

243
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 5: We know it's a lot of responsibility, but I'll do

244
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 5: it really, simple as that.

245
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 10: Simple as that we were all brought here without any

246
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 10: sort of trial. But by using me we can show

247
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 10: them that what they've done to us is wrong. If

248
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 10: this can help everyone else out, then there's no question

249
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 10: about it.

250
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: I have to do it.

251
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 5: We thought you'd say that. We'll let mister Purcell know

252
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 5: right away.

253
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: Thank you.

254
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 10: I hope it's a quick process. Uh, please excuse me.

255
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 10: I have to get to the mess hall.

256
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: It was nice to meet you. It was nice meeting

257
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: you too. She knows it won't be a quick process,

258
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: doesn't she.

259
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and not just because she used to be a

260
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 5: government employee. Her case will be delayed, dismissed, and worked around.

261
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: You mean they're gonna try to get her to drop

262
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the case yep.

263
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: In this place to Lee Lake, it's gonna get worse.

264
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: The conditions are gonna reach the point where Endo wishes

265
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: that she could leave, and the War Relocation Authority starts

266
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,359
Speaker 5: cutting deals that let people in midseas situation, relocate outside

267
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 5: of California. But if she leaves the state, the court

268
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 5: no longer has jurisdiction over her case and it'll be dropped.

269
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: So she'll refuse the chance to get out of here.

270
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 5: Because just like she said, she's gonna do the thing

271
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: that helps people, no matter how difficult it gets.

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: Let me guess they'll find a way to move her anyway.

273
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: Her case will be dismissed and they'll move her to Utah.

274
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Oh my head hurts from all the legal systems, ugh logistics.

275
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: How'd our case ever make it to the Supreme Court?

276
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 5: You mean because we never went back to relay her

277
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: message to Percell.

278
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: It's a simulation.

279
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 5: A different mailman went back to tell him, probably after

280
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: he apologized for smashing that priceless face with your fingerprints

281
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 5: all over it.

282
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: My fingerprints, Yeah.

283
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 5: I planted your fingerprints on it so I wouldn't get blamed.

284
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: Is that a crime?

285
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Yes, But in my simulation, it's not.

286
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 5: Forget the vase, you're the one fixating on it.

287
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: I meant, how did her case make it to the

288
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Supreme Court? After all that?

289
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: James Purcell filed an appeal and made sure it got

290
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 5: elevated all the way there here, let me dial us

291
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 5: in nine nineteen forty four pound pound star number pad smash.

292
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 6: In the case of Hirobayashi versus the United States, in

293
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 6: the case.

294
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 8: Of Yusui versus the United States, in the case of

295
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 8: kormontsu versus the United States.

296
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: The what were those other cases?

297
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: They were the three other challenges to the internment camps

298
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: that made it to the Supreme Court, but they all failed.

299
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good. I'm guessing we're at the Supreme Court, then,

300
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: what gave it away?

301
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 5: The nine Supreme Court justices glaring at us, Yeah, that

302
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 5: was it.

303
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Can we even be in here?

304
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 11: You too, the mailman, You shouldn't be in here, your honor.

305
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 5: We were in here to deliver a letter, but we

306
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 5: accidentally superglued our butts to the seats. Is it okay

307
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: if we just observe the rest of the proceedings while

308
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: we wait for someone to unbolt our seats from the

309
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 5: ground and carry us home.

310
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 11: I don't know what to say to that, but we're

311
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 11: running short on time, so I'll allow it. Let's move

312
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 11: on to our final decision on mitsuye Endo versus the

313
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 11: United States. We are of the view that Mitsuye Endo

314
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 11: should be given her liberty. For we conclude that whatever

315
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 11: power the War Relocation Authority may have to detail other

316
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 11: classes of citizens, it has no authority to subject citizens

317
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 11: who are concededly loyal to its leave procedure.

318
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: Wait. That means she won right she did.

319
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: Out of the four cases elevated to the Supreme Court

320
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: surrounding the issues of Japanese internment, hers was the only

321
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: case that was ruled in favor of the plaintiff. After this,

322
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: President Roosevelt reversed the executive order and citizens were allowed

323
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: to go home.

324
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: But a court ruling's not like waving a magic wand

325
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: is it. It doesn't just change back everything that went wrong.

326
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: No, And unlike the super glue I put on our pants,

327
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 5: its effect isn't immediate. Endo stayed in the camp for

328
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 5: another five months to look after her parents, and after that, well,

329
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 5: it's not like the communities that most of these people

330
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 5: were kicked out of didn't suddenly stop being suspicious of

331
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 5: Japanese Americans. A lot of people didn't even have homes

332
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 5: to return to.

333
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: I can imagine I wouldn't go back to that. It

334
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: couldn't have been easy finding new housing or jobs. After

335
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: being ripped away and then kept away for all that.

336
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: Time, she actually never even went back to California. Eventually

337
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 5: she made her way to Chicago. She wanted to put

338
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 5: this whole thing behind her, like I'm sure a lot

339
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 5: of others did, including the US government in itself.

340
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: What do you mean dial nine and then nineteen eighty eight? Wait,

341
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, as in forty years later? Mm hmm, okay,

342
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: huh a conference room, Hannah. Is that president of.

343
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: The Screen Actors Guild Ronald Reagan? Yes, but in nineteen

344
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 5: eighty eight, Ronald Reagan was also the President of the

345
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 5: United States. Did you notice that the language in the

346
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: Supreme Court's ruling didn't mention racial discrimination.

347
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now that I think about it, It just

348
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: said that the government couldn't detain people who were decidedly loyal.

349
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: So was that how Indo could win her case while

350
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: the other cases were all struck down?

351
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 5: Exactly? This press conference with former SAG president Reagan is

352
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 5: the first time that the US is officially apologizing to

353
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: the one hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans who were

354
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 5: wrongfully detained.

355
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 4: Yet we must recognize that the internment of Japanese Americans

356
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 4: was just that a mistake. For throughout the war, Japanese

357
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: Americans in the tens of thousands remained utterly loyal to

358
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: the United.

359
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: States better late than ever, I guess.

360
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 5: Remember the other three cases, Hirabayashi, Yasui, and Korematsu. Losing

361
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 5: those cases wasn't just a loss for Japanese Americans, but

362
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 5: also for those three individuals. They were technically considered convicts,

363
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 5: which is something that makes it pretty hard to find

364
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 5: a job. Even after this apology, it wouldn't be until

365
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen that those three cases officially got overturned, clearing

366
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 5: their names. Twenty eighteen, Yeah, forty more years. But for now,

367
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 5: let's get back to the lab. Switch back to line one.

368
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 12: Lee.

369
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: I know that technically we saw Indo win her case,

370
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: but I.

371
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 5: Know nineteen forty two all the way to twenty eighteen.

372
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: History is of regrettable decisions and mistakes of things that

373
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 5: still need to be acknowledged and corrected.

374
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: But if things move that slowly, how are any of

375
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: us supposed to change anything?

376
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 5: It does seem daunting and complicated and overwhelming. But the

377
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 5: things we actually do, our actions, those can be simple.

378
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: How do you mean, Midsey.

379
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 5: Endo didn't set out to change the world. She was

380
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: just offered a chance to do what was right. Someone

381
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 5: said to her, we need you to play a part.

382
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: Can you do that? And she said yes?

383
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: And she said yes, She took a small, quiet action,

384
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 5: stayed determined, and that set everything else in motion. Winning

385
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 5: her case effectively led to the end of the internment

386
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: camps and made way for the reversals of the other

387
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 5: three cases decades later.

388
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: It's like she said, if it helps other people, I'll

389
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: do it. Even if the system itself is imperfect, it's

390
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: people who ultimately make sure it works. And people will

391
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: make mistakes and correction and try their best to do

392
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: what's right, even if it takes a long time.

393
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: Speaking of taking a long time, you got a song

394
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: for us?

395
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: Or what you bet I do? All right, everyone, it's

396
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: time to celebrate smid City eight in those heroic actions

397
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: with this brand new trek.

398
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 13: Well forty one, the Empire of the Thumb, we just

399
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 13: drag on the red, Light and blue. The back was

400
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 13: run by Japan. The outcome was the unenjoying World War two.

401
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 9: How the rhys from the Score and the Theater War

402
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 9: are the subjects of media chung, but the song will

403
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 9: lookplore howard you as sure something deastardly happened that at

404
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 9: the time Japanese on the West end of America have

405
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 9: their loyalties question Franklin Elizabel did with this best fan

406
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 9: and declared to Congress and the Will that if you

407
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 9: descended from the land of the Yen, you were now

408
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 9: an alien. Doesn't matter citizen order for our second gent

409
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 9: with the man, you're subject to the acts of sedition

410
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 9: laws with the terrible tradition.

411
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 14: So the US Senate trips were on a mission to

412
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 14: round up the nisay and he say in prisons against

413
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 14: the will, and without any discernment, thus began the policy.

414
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 13: That would not call internment, they said the.

415
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 7: Free.

416
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: But then they humans their humanity.

417
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 13: So I asked, how can you in a fight when

418
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 13: you've lost that wage made you?

419
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: Internment convinces. The camps are intense.

420
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: It's a test to.

421
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Be ripped from your home.

422
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 14: Go mark while your fences and armguard defenses, who shoot

423
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 14: you if you try to go? When pressures oppressed them,

424
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 14: some folks get invented. They look for that opposite force.

425
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 14: You know they won't be pensive. They're on the offensive,

426
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 14: and they saw recourse.

427
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: In the courts.

428
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 9: The Japanese American Citizens League, not the American in their

429
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 9: citizen may wanted to challenge Roosevelt politically, and we're sitting

430
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 9: that a journey again judge will agree. So three men

431
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 9: Gordon Hurraba Yashi, Fred Koremata Minova, Yes Sube had a

432
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 9: law degree. They bought possibly that they could stop this

433
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 9: atrocity with honesty. But they got popped in the job

434
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 9: by hypocrisy, lost their steam drop to one, not for

435
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 9: three and the back up where they didn't wanna be.

436
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 12: In turn, in turn interminably in halls of Atlanta free

437
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 12: there are simplies striving for their humanity.

438
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 13: But I ask, how can you preserve a fight when

439
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 13: you're down?

440
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: Even so World War two rages, conflict of the ages.

441
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 9: The people in turn still strive to bring from their

442
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 9: cages and start on you pages. But that dream is

443
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 9: barely alive for sell their esquires, getting real tired of

444
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 9: looking for our cases that can go until he's inspired

445
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 9: by someone who's fired and her name to an Endo.

446
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 9: Endo born in Secramento, was employed by the State Board,

447
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 9: but then was swiftly let go after the bob uptexts,

448
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 9: which director may count her acts the spirit of the

449
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 9: most US Manifesto. They her case the court on a

450
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 9: Habeus write, but the judge in a thing that her

451
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 9: case was legit, but the US government knew something else

452
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 9: about it. So they offer reread them just for only her,

453
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 9: and she said no way.

454
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 14: More years locked in the fort, waiting until she reached

455
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 14: the Supreme Court debate.

456
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 12: This is the price they make you pay for freedom.

457
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 9: Makes it taste even's reader when you really.

458
00:23:47,400 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: Beat one point Humana sto.

459
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 13: He's fine protecting all human rights Disney only thing.

460
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: That's what.

461
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 12: She wandered.

462
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 9: Me too.

463
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: She made him, made.

464
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 13: Him one good day free when they try to take

465
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 13: our human even this, he'shi protecting all human rights, Disney

466
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 13: only thing.

467
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 12: Last night.

468
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after a few words for the

469
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: grown ups. All right, what a great song. It's a

470
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: lot better than the hold music.

471
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 5: You're still on hold?

472
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I've been holding the phone against my

473
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: ear the whole time.

474
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you just forgot how to put things down.

475
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: That makes more sense, though. I'm okay with this though.

476
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,280
