At a community Ramadan dinner, she is comforted by a Japanese American neighbor named Mari, who tells her about her experiences as a child who was incarcerated with her family during World War II. She goes on to tell Sheirin about Fred Korematsu from his life as an American teenager just prior to the war to his family's forced removal and incarceration, his decision to resist, his trials, postwar life and silence, and eventual vindication in the courts some forty years later. The book ends with Mari and Sheirin going to see Korematsu speak at local Sikh temple. The books ends with a timeline of events in Japanese American history.\n </p>\n <p>\n The 96-page book was illustrated by Angelia Loi, then an undergraduate student at UC Davis.\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Additional_Information\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Additional_Information\">\n Additional Information\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n The comic book came out of the effort to name an elementary school in Davis, California, after Korematsu, in which authors Anupam Chander and Madhavi Sunder—who were also a married couple who lived in Davis with their two children—were both active. Sunder was appointed to serve on the committee charged with naming the new school in 2005 and advocated for Korematsu, who had recently passed away. Chander's research revealed that Davis had been among the California cities that had passed a resolution that supported the mass removal of Japanese Americans and that called for the exiles to be prohibited from returning. Fred T. Korematsu Elementary School opened in August 2006. With the comic book, the couple sought to tell Korematsu's story in a medium that would reach children and to communicate that, as Sunder put it, \"ordinary people can make a real difference in our country and in our community.\" Their project was supported by a grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program. The authors held a competition to find an illustrator on the UC Davis campus, which Loi, than an undergraduate, won.\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 <i>\n Fred Korematsu: All American Hero\n </i>\n is well-researched and is historically accurate for the most part, though it contains a few minor errors: cites 120,000 as the number of Japanese Americans removed from the West Coast and sent to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Assembly_centers\" title=\"Assembly centers\">\n \"assembly centers\"\n </a>\n (page 28; the 120,000 figure includes all those who were in\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/War_Relocation_Authority\" title=\"War Relocation Authority\">\n War Relocation Authority\n </a>\n camps, including the 6,000 who were born in camp and other who arrived later; closer to 110,000 people went to the \"assembly centers\" or \"reception centers\"); has the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/442nd_Regimental_Combat_Team\" title=\"442nd Regimental Combat Team\">\n 442nd Regimental Combat Team\n </a>\n being formed in 1944 at the same time that\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Nisei\" title=\"Nisei\">\n Nisei\n </a>\n draft eligibility is reinstated (58; the correct 1943 date for the 442nd is listed in the chronology); claims that \"[m]ore than half [of those incarcerated] are children\" (90; about 1/3 were children); claims the $20,000 reparations payments \"amounted to $3.36 per day for a detainee who had been interned for two years\" (94; $20,000 ÷ 730 days = $27.40 per day).\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Brian_Niiya\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>\n",
