Today's episode is the conclusion of the Fred Korematsu story. After losing his Supreme Court case in 1944, Fred went into a life of obscurity...until a conversation with a young girl in 1967 started Fred back on the journey to right the wrongs bestowed against him, and Japanese American people...and to stop America from making the same mistakes again.

On this very first episode of Dark Shadows, Why FDR, WHY? We're taking a deep dive into what led Franklin Roosevelt to make the decision to intern an entire ethnic population of the USA, treated them like criminals, locked them up like animals, and removed their civil liberties. Yes, I’ll be tackling the internment of the Japanese Americans during world war two in the United States and just how and why a Government could turn on its’ own citizens in the supposed land of the free. 

Are you ready for the deep dive? 

Excellent...here we go...

Fred Korematsu was a law abiding, loyal citizen of the United States. He held no criminal record and loved his homeland so much so, that he wanted to don a uniform to defend her. So, why then did his country turn on him and treat him like a criminal? Convicting him, incarcerating him, interring him, and leaving him with a criminal record? Fred would spend a lifetime trying to defend the injustice bestowed against him, and the thousands of others in his position.

Today's story is something very different to the norm, and as of 24 hours ago, completely unplanned. The episode that should have aired today hit a curve ball at the 11th hour, and so, not wanting to disappoint, I have put today's episode together instead. Like I said, it's very different to my normal episodes, but I do hope that you enjoy it...
