Welcome to Remarkable People. We're on a mission to make you remarkable. Helping me in this episode is Mitchell Maki.
Mitchell is no ordinary leader - he is the president and CEO of the Go For Broke National Education Center, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the legacy of Japanese-American World War II veterans. These brave men and women answered the call to serve a nation that had unjustly incarcerated their families, fighting with incredible courage and patriotism to become the most highly decorated unit of their size in American military history.
In this episode, Mitchell shares the remarkable story of these heroes, who overcame race prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a failure of political leadership to demonstrate the true meaning of American values. As we grapple with concerning trends of eroding civil liberties and democracy, Mitchell's insights shine a light on the enduring lessons we must heed to protect the rights and freedoms that so many have sacrificed to uphold.
Join me in learning from this crucial chapter of American history and be inspired by the shining example set by the Japanese-American WWII veterans. Their story is not just a great Japanese-American story - it is a great American story that reminds us all of the ongoing work required to build a more perfect union.
Please enjoy this remarkable episode, Mitchell Maki: Preserving the Courageous Legacy of the Japanese-American WWII Heroes.
