“Elias Bothell, Port Townsend Rotary’s outbound exchange student
I plan to have a PPT and share updates on
the Maritime/Place-Based programming
and the Elementary School Construction.
My presentation will be the story of my family, immigration,
racial prejudice, the power of words, the all Nisei 442nd
Regimental Combat Unit, honor, and patriotism. I conclude
with why does this matter today as it is important to
understand how racial discrimination led to the incarceration
of 120,000 people of Japanese descent. How does a
democracy weigh civil liberties vs. national security? How
does a democracy make good decisions living with the threat
of terrorism? When, if ever, should we deny American citizens
their constitutional rights? With the recent Supreme Court
decision on the Korematsu case, it seems we go one step
forward and then take another step back with the blessing for
the Muslim Ban!
Student for the 2017-2018 school year, has
returned home to Port Townsend. Elias will
give a presentation on his experience as a
Rotary Youth Exchange student living in
Zaragoza, Spain over the past year. ”
