Kristi Yamaguchi's grandparents were among the Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated to internment camps during World War II. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, thousands of Japanese Americans, including Yamaguchi's family, faced discrimination and were unjustly imprisoned due to wartime hysteria and prejudice. This experience significantly impacted Yamaguchi's family history and has influenced her advocacy for civil rights and awareness about the injustices faced by Japanese Americans during that period.
