He appealed his case all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled against him; justified by military necessity. Discovery of new evidence allowed Korematsu to re-open his case with pro-bono lawyers. In 1983, a federal court in San Francisco overturned Korematsu's conviction. To this day he has been an aspiring figure for civil right activists. Korematsu received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on January 15, 1998.
