Seventy years after the end of World War II, Floyd Mori is on a personal mission to remind the American public of the injustices perpetrated within the United States against those of Japanese ancestry during the war.
In November Mori published a collection of his speeches and articles from the early 2000s, covering subjects from U.S. immigration reform to hate crimes, as president of the Japanese-American Citizens League, a leading Asian-American civil rights organization.
The main purpose of the publication is to "ensure that no other people will ever have to endure such mistreatment and injustice as were inflicted upon Japanese-Americans during World War II," Mori said in the book, which is simply titled "The Japanese American Story."
