Hey Donmonique!

Explanation:

• George Takei is an actor who reflects on a lifetime of activism, the legacy of Japanese American internment camps and the spirit of "gaman."

• He said that experience gave him a sense of grit and determination, and he also inspire his life like an activist.

• He was 4 went he has to evacuate with his family for the announcement of Executive Order 9066.

• He and his family had to live on a camp, where they had nothing, privacy, no private bathroom or shower, they had to share. And apparently it was commanded by men.

• "GAMAN" It is a Japanese word originating from Zen Buddhism that means "to endure the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity."

• The experience in the camps gave him a certain grit and determination, and optimism. For if a nation that once put me him in prison because of his ancestry can, just two decades later, become a beacon of hope around the world for civil rights and justice, then anything really is possible.
