"Fighting for Democracy: Who is the 'We' in 'We the People'?" is traveling exhibit from the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. It features the stories of seven brave young men and women who went abroad to fight for freedom despite the inequalities they faced at home.

Among them are a Mexican-American who was inspired by suffering he saw abroad to fight for his people at home, a Jewish immigrant who waded ashore after D-Day as a nurse, a Tuskegee Airmen who would sacrifice his wings to stand up for his rights, a Japanese-American who left his family behind in an internment camp to fight for his country, a Filipino who would spend the rest of his life teaching tolerance to prevent another great war, a Chinese-American whose dream of flying would come true in the Women Airforce Service Pilots and a Navajo code talker who used his native culture to save lives.
