"Mr. Yasui was an American civil rights pioneer who bravely stood up against our government's incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII," US Congressman Mike Honda who was also incarcerated in an internment camp told NBC News. "He demonstrated a lifetime commitment to civil rights, from his intentional defiance of the military curfew and his Supreme Court case, through his fight for redress for Japanese Americans, to his civil rights advocacy in Denver, where he brought together different communities of color."
