Civil rights activist Fred T. Korematsu was a welder on the Oakland docks before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942 and Japanese Americans were forced into incarceration camps, Korematsu refused. He was sent to federal prison, and then a camp with his family (pictured here in this 1939 portrait in our @smithsoniannpg). Korematsu challenged the legality of the detention, but it was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1944. In 1983, he petitioned to reopen the case and a lower court found in his favor, and his conviction was overturned (not the Supreme Court's decision). Congress apologized and awarded each survivor $20,000.
