George Takei, on Thread:

[Delphinus]

6. I saw

him in person at the Omnibus Lecture series held at Purdue Fort Wayne.

He didn't talk about Star Trek - he talked about his life growing up in an internment camp and how it affected his family. He talked about the divisions in this country and how those who were in the internment camps fought and won reparations. Certainly not enough, but it was a milestone - and it was signed into law by Ronald Reagan, which I had forgotten.

Of course he was funny but it was quite the serious talk and it was to a crowd of 1,600+. Sure glad I was there.

Now I'll have to go listen to Wait, Wait!
