Zolgar's Comic Chat: They Called Us Enemy
Zolgar gets serious for a moment to discuss George Takei's They Called Us Enemy.
George Takei tells the story of his time in the Japanese Internment camps that were scattered across the US from 1942 to 1946 following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He tells it with his recollection of his childhood innocence and wonder, seeing what happened as an adventure, juxtaposed with his adult understanding of just how horrible what America did back then was, and the gross violation of their rights as Americans. This graphic memoir from actor, author, and activist George Takei, co-written by Justin Eisinger and Steven Scott, and illustrated by Harmony Becker is a great insight into Takei's life and a small window into a dark time in American history.
