When Taking a Walk At Night Was an Act of Civil Disobedience
Seventy-seven years ago today, Oregon’s Minoru Yasui defied the government's curfew on Japanese Americans in a brave act of civil disobedience at the start of World War II.
We at the ACLU of Oregon believe it is our duty to keep the public informed about the state of their civil liberties. The work we do at the legislature, in the courts, and in our communities is important, but there is no better defender of civil liberties and civil rights than a public that is informed and engaged.
