The university believes there were about 120 Nisei students – people born in America to parents, who came to the US from Japan – at the school on February 19, 1942. On Friday, USC held a commencement ceremony posthumously awarding honorary degrees

Kristina Hayashi was a teacher's assistant in a US history class when she saw a picture of her great uncle for the first time in 2013.

During a lesson on WWII, she noticed a LA Times article about Henry Kondo in a textbook. Throughout the years, she'd heard stories about her relative who was a Japanese American soldier killed in action. "Growing up, I knew I had this great uncle that was killed during World War II...but I had never seen a picture of him," Hayashi told CNN.
