William Hohri

William Minoru Hohri (March 13, 1927 – November 12, 2010) was an American political activist, born to Japanese immigrants parents, who was sent to a concentration camp with his family after the Attack on Pearl Harbor triggered the US's entry into World War II. After leading a class action lawsuit seeking redress for the actions of the federal government in the Japanese American internment, which was dismissed, Hohri's advocacy helped convince Congress to pass legislation that provided compensation to each surviving internee.
