Actor and activist George Takei revisits the site of the Arkansas internment camp where, at age five, he and his family were relocated with other Japanese-Americans at the start of World War II. “There is a memory seared into my brain when I was five years old. It was the spring of 1942 when soldiers came marching up our driveway. Stomped up the front porch and banged on the door and ordered my family out of our home. We were in prison behind barbed wire fences for four years for the duration of the war, simply because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor."
