00:24Although President Reagan acknowledged that the incarceration of Japanese Americans was
00:29a mistake, he stopped short of calling it what it really was, a scandal of epic proportions.
00:35Government lawyers intentionally destroyed and altered and suppressed evidence regarding
00:41the loyalty of Japanese Americans.
00:43Government lawyers also presented to the court false evidence regarding the commission
00:50by Japanese Americans of acts of espionage, acts that the government knew to be false.
00:56It was covered up, but during my few years of doing research at the archives, I found
01:03the lost tenth copy of the report.
01:07The cases that legalized and legitimized the incarceration of these Americans was false.
01:14It was a fraud.
01:16Today more than ever, America needs to know the truth.
01:20They need to know that not only were Japanese Americans rounded up and incarcerated based
01:25on completely false information, but the government knew it, and these facts were deliberately
01:31covered up for decades.
01:33It's time for this country to be reminded of the truth and that facts matter.
01:38They should have mattered in 1942, and they should matter today.
01:42It should have never been the truth.
