George Takei: During my childhood, my family and I were interned in Rohwer prison camp in the swamps of southeast Arkansas because we looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. My friends at Arkansas State Univ. are working hard to make sure history is not forgotten. They just launched a wonderful website on Rohwer; I'm honored to provide an audio intro.

We should not forget it, ever.
We should never let it happen again.
