評価・遺産
Hohri was a central activist in the movement for redress for Japanese American internment during WWII and served as lead plaintiff in a class-action suit. Although the suit was dismissed, his advocacy helped pave the way for the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. He is also recognized for his written account of the movement.
