The story begins with Korematsu's prewar life as an ordinary American teenager, but one who faced discrimination because of his ethnic background. It goes on to cover the rising anti-Japanese sentiment after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Korematsu's decision to resist the mass roundup of Japanese Americans, his subsequent arrest and incarceration, his\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Korematsu_v._United_States\" title=\"Korematsu v. United States\">\n Supreme Court trial\n </a>\n , the later reopening of his case in the 1980s, and his late life activism and influence.\n </p>\n <p>\n Each of the twelve chapters begins with a section of free verse that narrowly focuses on Korematsu and his family and is followed by a section of roughly equal length on the broader context of Korematsu's story that includes a combination of text, photographs, art, documents, cartoons, and a timeline. Each chapter also includes a full page illustration by Yutaka Houlette. The main body of the book is followed by a chapter on how young people today might fight for things they see as wrong and an essay by Korematsu's daughter Karen Korematsu along with acknowledgements, notes, a brief bibliography, credits, an index, and profiles of the author and illustrator.\n <i>\n Fred Korematsu Speaks Up\n </i>\n is the first volume of a Heyday Books' projected series titled\n <i>\n Fighting for Justice\n </i>\n .\n </p>\n <p>\n Stan Yogi had previously written about the Korematsu case in his earlier\n <i>\n Wherever There's a Fight: How Runaway Slaves, Suffragists, Immigrants, Strikers, and Poets Shaped Civil Liberties in California\n </i>\n (co-authored with Elaine Elinson, Heyday Books, 2009) and considers him a personal hero. A non-profit development consultant and literary scholar, Yogi has also edited two literary anthologies and was the manager of development programs for the Northern California American Civil Liberties Union for fourteen years. Laura Atkins is an independent children's book writer and editor who worked in the children's book industry for seven years and later earned an M.A. in children's literature from the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature at Roehampton University, England. Based in Berkeley, California, she has worked on numerous award-winning children's books. Illustrator Yutaka Houlette is a designer, illustrator and front-end engineer based in Oakland, California.\n <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref1_1-0\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref1-1\">\n [1]\n </a>\n </sup>\n </p>\n <p>\n Released on January 30, 2017, in conjunction with Fred Korematsu Day in California,\n <i>\n Fred Korematsu Speaks Up\n </i>\n received strongly positive early reviews from mainstream publications.\n </p>\n <p>\n Written in consultation with the Korematsu family and with Korematsu's biographer Lorraine K.
