It’s been rough dealing with so much loss in our lives lately. Sometimes it feels like Ke Akua is planning something big, because He’s been calling home so many of the great ones. 🤍

A reminder to find balance. Love a little harder. Hug a little longer. Listen a little closer, especially to those who may be struggling or just need someone there.

Life is precious, and tomorrow is never promised. You just never know what someone is carrying or when it may be the last time you get to say, “I love you.”

Cherish your people while they’re here. ❤️

Nobody could hide anything from her. Not even the U.S. government.

August 5, 1924: Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga was born in Sacramento, California.

She wasn’t a lawyer. She wasn’t a politician. She was a former incarceree, a mother, and a self-trained researcher who eventually became the lead researcher for the CWRIC, the federal commission investigating her own incarceration.

In 1982, digging through the National Archives, she found something the government believed no longer existed.

In 1942, the Army had printed and bound ten copies of its official John Dewitt’s Final Report justifying the incarceration. The original language was blunt: separating loyal Japanese Americans from potential spies was “impossible,” like trying to separate the sheep from the goats. Race, not evidence, was the reasoning.

Before the report went public, John McCloy, the Assistant Secretary of War, had it rewritten, quietly softening DeWitt’s original claim that separating loyal Japanese Americans from potential spies was impossible. The revised version, issued under DeWitt’s name, claimed military necessity instead. Then the Army tried to destroy every copy of the original.
They missed one. The tenth copy. Aiko found it.

That single surviving document became key evidence in overturning wartime convictions, and helped shape Personal Justice Denied, the CWRIC’s 1983 report that led directly to the Civil Liberties Act of 1988.

Aiko proved what generations had suspected. The government knew it was wrong. They rewrote the evidence anyway.
