Audiobook Break is proud to present the Japanese American Civil Liberties Collection from LA Theatre Works. Today we begin with Act I of For Us All by Jeanne Sakata, directed by Anna Lyse Erikson. The play stars Josh Stamberg and Joy Osmanski and features Edward Asner and a full cast.

For Us All tells the story of a court battle fought to overturn the conviction of Fred Korematsu, who resisted incarceration in the Japanese internment camps during WWII. Stay tuned for Act II on October 6th, and a post-play discussion with some of the original participants in the case on October 7th.
