Who are the heroes of our Constitution? In times like these, it is more important than ever that we remember the mistakes of the past and honor those who fought against them at the time. One president took Mitsuye Endo's freedom, and that of thousands of other Americans. For another to give her the Medal of Freedom would be an appropriate symbolic recompense for her, and a helpful reminder to us all.
