alfreda89: (We the People)
A few nights ago Jon Stewart interviewed George Takei.  A documentary of George's life is on Direct TV now, and it's going to have a limited release starting August 22nd.  Jon Stewart somehow was ignorant of one of the United States' greatest shames, the internment of its citizens of Japanese descent during WWII.  He asked about this, and asked how George's parents later spoke of that time.  (George was 5 when they went in, so his memories are vivid but a child's recollection.)

Just the fragment of George's conversations with his father make this clip worth watching.
