"What's happening to the Muslim's right now is really close to the hearts of the Japanese Americans because it happened to us... Especially during a crisis, people forget The Constitution and what it guarantees for everyone, so we have to be on guard constantly." - (Gloria Imagire, a former internee, Japanese Share) |
"Every day, there are threats to mosques and Muslim students, leaders and community members...Our country is better than this...Let us not give into hate and ignorance. Let us be the country of compassion and openness. We are a multiethnic, multireligious, multicultural nation. Our diversity is what gives us strength, and our respect for the Constitution, rule of law and American ideals is what unites us." - U.S. Representative, Mike Honda |
