While the passing of Terri Schiavo is sad and moving for many, the death of Fred Korematsu is one that should be brought to the public's attention. His conviction in 1942 for failing to report to the internment camps for Japanese Americans led to one of the worst rulings ever handed down by the Supreme Court. His struggle for civil rights during WWII was one that is quietly overlooked by many, but his court case is studied by nearly every law student. Mr. Korematsu was 86.
