They Called Us Enemy by George Takei
In graphic novel format, illustrated by Harmony Becker’s
graytone illustrations, Takei tells the story of when his family was imprisoned
by the United States government during World War II. George, his brother and
sister, and his mother, were all born in America. Japanese-Americans, 120,000
of them, lost their businesses, homes, and were only allowed to take with them
what they could carry. The story also tells how Takei became an actor and
activist for LGBTQ rights. A powerful and moving story.
