How cool is this? While searching for a pickup soccer game, I came across this corner buried deep in a South San Jose suburb.

A little searching turned up that the street names were instituted in 1988 to honor two of the most vocal and courageous Americans (Japanese or otherwise) against the internment: Fred Korematsu [1] and Gordon Hirabayashi [2] (who just passed away on January 2, 2012).

Circle January 30 on your calendar, as it's the Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution [3].

Does a more politicized Japanese American cross-street exist? Let us know.
