Atkins, Laura, and Stan Yogi. Fred Korematsu Speaks Up. Illustrated by Yutaka Houlette, Heyday, 2017. Fighting For Justice. This is also a good general source about Korematsu, although written partially in verse. I got the " You dumbbell " quote from in here.
Bausum, Ann. "Detained: 'Uncertainty Was All We Knew.'" Denied Detained Deported: Stories from the Dark Side of American Immigration, National Geographic, 2009. This is an interesting, but short, source. It is about the experience of a non-Korematsu detained Japanese American.
Chin, Steven A. When Justice Failed: The Fred Korematsu Story. Edited by Alex Haley, Steck-Vaugn, 1993. This is a good source on Fred Korematsu and pulls his whole story together.
Korematsu, Karen, et al. "Fred T. Korematsu." Fred T. Korematsu Institute, edited by Karen Korematsu et al., www.korematsuinstitute.org/fred-t-korematsu-lifetime. Accessed 12 Nov. 2019. This is a fairly helpful, but not super in-depth biography. It was made by Korematsu's daughter, though, which is probably good.
Little, Becky. "Korematsu Ruling on Japanese Internment: Condemned but Not Overruled." History.Com, edited by History, 27 June 2018, www.history.com/news/korematsu-japanese-internment-supreme-court. Accessed 1 Sept. 2018. This is interesting: if it's condemned, why didn't they overrule it? I wonder... anyway, makes a good point: that, while condemned, the case has not been overruled.
Medina, Jennifer. "For Survivors of Japanese Internment Camps, Court's Korematsu Ruling Is 'Bittersweet.'" The New York Times, edited by New York Times, New York Times, 28 June 2018, www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/us/korematsu-japanese-internment-camps-supreme-court-ruling.html. Accessed 5 Jan. 2020. This points out that Trump's Muslim ban is doing a similar thing to what happened to Korematsu, and the Supreme Court, while admitting that Japanese Internment was wrong, still upholds what's happening today.
Roesler, Jill. Eyewitness to the Japanese Internment. Epic! Books for Kids, www.getepic.com/app/read/24913. Accessed 19 Nov. 2019. This was an okay general source. It had an interesting, unique story in the middle (pg 8-9, paragraphs 2-1), and was a fair source on the Internment in general.
Spickard, Paul R. "Injustice Compounded: Amerasians and Non-Japanese Americans in World War II Concentration Camps." Journal of American Ethnic History, vol. 5, no. 2, 1986, pp. 5–22.
