Khan Academy: Japanese Internment

Curated by ACT

Discusses the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, an action that resulted from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066. The constitutionality of the order was challenged all the way to the Supreme Court by Fred Korematsu in the case of Korematsu v. United States (1944) but the order was upheld as a wartime necessity.
