George Takei, known for playing USS Enterprise helmsman Hikaru Sulu on the original "Star Trek" television and movie series, will be the focus of a new satellite radio documentary program.

In "George Takei's America: A Howard 100 News Documentary," Takei  recounts his family's compelling history, retracing with reporter Steve Langford the exact steps he and his family took in Los Angeles in the spring of 1942 when they were rounded up by American soldiers and ordered at gunpoint into Japanese internment camps.

Takei was 5 years old at the time. His family spent four years in those prison camps.
