Actor and Howard Stern announcer George Takei takes listeners through his Japanese-American family's internment during World War II in a radio documentary airing on Sirius XM Radio. "Takei takes us to the house in East Los Angeles, where the Takei family first surrendered, then showing us the horse stalls at Santa Anita Racetrack near Los Angeles, where George's family was forced to live under armed guard for several weeks, before being shipped off to prison camps in Arkansas and Northern California," says the summary for "George Takei's America."
