Fred Korematsu is significant for his courageous stance against the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. He defied the government's orders and was subsequently arrested, leading to a landmark Supreme Court case, Korematsu v. United States, which upheld the internment at the time. His case later became a symbol of civil rights violations, and Korematsu's legacy has since inspired discussions about justice, civil liberties, and the importance of challenging government actions that may infringe on individual rights. In 2018, he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, further recognizing his contributions to civil rights advocacy.
Fred Korematsu's birth name is Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu.
Fred Korematsu died on March 30, 2005, in Larkspur, California, USA of respiratory illness.

This fool has no idea what he is talking about... he was not even close to knowing what really happened with Fred Korematsu. Korematsu won this as some would say "battle" against the United States. Fred Korematsu did not have to go to the internment camp.
