Lillian Baker ripping testimony

Title: Lillian Baker ripping testimony
Description: Lillian Baker (left) angrily rips testimony pages from the hands of James Kawaminami, president of the 100th/442nd Veterans Association of Southern California, at a Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians hearing in Los Angeles. The nine-member, federally-appointed body held hearings in major U.S. cities and heard testimonies from more than 750 witnesses. Some Americans, like Lillian, continued to defend the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans. They opposed redress and reparations, which would acknowledge that the government acted wrongly.
