Imagine in Sulu Takei voice... Muzzeeeuuumm
His voice is so distinct that when he says a word, people listen... or trip out. When he said the word "ZINE", it was unlike any pronunciation ever attempted, and it sounded amazing. The museum asked me to go boldly where I've never gone before. To pick 1 item among their thousands of items that would address redress. Know what Redress is? I'll bet some of you are thinking, some kind of clothing related dressing room antic. But it basically means to set shit straight. $20,000 back for being imprisoned for three years. No, I wasn't there, and it's a very quiet issue, even to this day, but there's a handful who made some noise.
For some odd reason, people may think I'm a nut to have picked this image, but read my reason if you want. I makes sense to me, and it's on the wall at the MUSSEEEEUUUUMMMM. It's actually hanging next to the reconstructed barrack. JANM Since I wasn't there, I thought finding a bridge to the time was the way to go. Hope people get it.

That poster is one of the most awesome things in JANM's collection. The first time I saw it in the archives I fell in love with it.
I never really knew much about George Takei until a month or two ago when I heard him talking on a random radio station. His voice is what got me- you're right, it's so distinct, it made me stop and listen. Takei is remarkably well spoken, he told of his experience in an internment camp in Arkansas, the experience of portraying Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, and his long term relationship to his partner (if I remember right they were about to get married). I was very entertained, he's a great speaker and smart as a whip. And his political beliefs were right in line with my own.
