Closing Independence Day weekend

Lt. Sulu is still taking us to places where most of us have never ventured.

When he was a child, George Takei and his family were forced into an internment camp for Japanese-Americans, as a “security” measure during World War II. 70 years later, Takei looks back at how the camp shaped his surprising, personal definition of patriotism and democracy.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxKyoto, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.
