George 武井 穂郷〈たけい ほさと〉Takei, “They Called Us Enemy”, 2019 was graphic novel & biography of the Japanese-American WW-II internment. Born name Hosato Takei 武井 穂郷 (in Japanese characters),
George Takei as a child (as depicted in the graphic above) was forced under “Executive Order 9066” of 19 February 1942 into internment camps with 120,000 other 120,000 Japanese-Americans.
George Takei was the 2020 “annual author recognition” recipient of the Little Tokyo Branch Library of the Los Angeles Public Library. The selection of a Japanese-American author by the “Little Tokyo Branch Library” was the 34th (first beginning in the year 1989). The biography of the “Nisei” (2nd Generation) American is my interest.
George Takei was recognized for his “activism” in telling what his life with parents was like in the Japanese-American internment. George Takei, “They Called Us Enemy”, 2019 was a biography (graphic novel) of a famous Japanese-American actor. This biography works for me as a personal story of experience.
