Help us put the tools to educate against prejudice and hate into educators' and students' hands and stop history from being erased.

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 civic education, which we urgently need today to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past.

The Fred T. Korematsu Institute shares the story of the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and Fred Korematsu's fight for civil liberties and the Constitutional rights of all Americans. The lessons of Fred Korematsu's courageous story have never been more relevant. And we have never felt more confident in our mission to educate and inspire audiences of all ages to follow his words and "stand up for what is right."

Our programs reach educators, students, and the general public nationwide:

• 7 states and counting now recognize Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution, the first statewide day to honor an Asian American, every year on January 30

• Institutions in 30+ states have invited Fred's daughter, Dr. Karen Korematsu, to address audiences of all ages, from kindergartners to federal judges

• 10,000+ people have visited our traveling exhibition, "Am I An American or Am I Not?" in the first year and a half since its debut

• 15,000+ teachers and parents have received our education toolkits, reaching 1.5M+ elementary to college-level students

At a time when funding for nonprofits like ours is at risk, your tax-deductible investment in the Fred T. Korematsu Institute today is critical for helping us make an even bigger impact in 2026 and beyond!

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.

Thank you for being a part of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute community. Your support truly matters. This is about all of us.
