SDSU to award honorary degrees to Japanese-American internees

It's considered a dark chapter in American history. More than 120,000 Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps during World War II. Not only were families displaced, but an often overlooked part of that history was its effect it had on college students, many of whom were forced to leave their education behind.
