Best known as an actor, George Takei has also made waves as an advocate for equality and justice as a survivor of the Japanese internment camps during WWII. As a proud Japanese American, Takei shares the story of his family’s forced imprisonment — a painful and often overlooked chapter of American history. In his reflection, he speaks candidly about feeling ostracized for his heritage not only during WWII, but also in the decades that followed, highlighting how forgotten and abandoned he felt by an American government that preached freedom and equality for all. This AAPI Heritage Month, we want to highlight stories like Takei’s while celebrating the rich history, culture, and lasting impact of Asian Americans. For generations, Asian Americans have helped shape American culture and traditions, and we are proud to honor them this month. Takei brings his firsthand account of imprisonment alongside decades of experience advocating for civil rights in Hollywood. Takei is the perfect speaker for AAPI events or diversity and inclusion programs as a keynote speaker and for Q&A’s.
