Help us put the tools to educate against prejudice and hate into educators' and students' hands.

How do you teach about the Japanese American Incarceration or Korematsu vs. U.S. if you cannot use the words "inequality," "racism," or "xenophobia"? As we travel the country, we have the opportunity to speak with teachers about the struggles they are facing on the frontlines in classrooms across America.

We ask you to join us and support us in the fight against prejudice, erasure , and hate by making a gift to the Fred T. Korematsu Institute to support our future so we can continue this work. With your help, together we can carry on Fred Korematsu's legacy of fighting for civil rights and educate to fight for the social justice and racial equity we urgently need today to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past. Thank you for being a part of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute community. Your support truly matters. This is about all of us.

Woven together with Fred’s story and the importance and the historical impact of his court case, are the broader issues, such as the right to due process in the Fifth Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the civil liberties guaranteed to every American citizen. And what happens when things go wrong? Fred's story could be every American's story. Today in 2026.

History. Education. Advocacy. We believe words matter, and education is an important tool to help defeat xenophobia and racism. Since December 2010, we have distributed over 15,000 Toolkits to teachers in all 50 states and 12 countries worldwide. During the pandemic, we extended our Digital Toolkits to parents and families teaching kids at home. In 2026, we are updating our educational resources for teachers on the front lines of classrooms across America to include connections to present-day civil rights issues like political scapegoating, anti-immigrant sentiment, and the dangers of misinformation.

The Fred T. Korematsu Institute (KI) is a national education advocacy organization committed to promoting civic participation and education to advance racial equity, social justice, and human rights for all. Through our educational programs, media and exhibits, and speaking engagements, we inspire people and organizations to, as Fred said, “stand up for what is right.”
