Explanation:
Why?
In Chapter Four (4) of the story Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo, the main character in the story has encountered a man named Osugo. It is during a kindred meeting wherein Okonkwo belittled those members of the clan who were less successful. Osugo, one of those less fortunate men, can't stand the rudeness and harshness of Okonkwo and speak against him. Though Osugo acknowledges the successful life of Okonkwo which he achieved through hard work and patience, in his perspective, it is not enough to embarrass and degrade people who are not his level.
Therefore, Okonkwo with his pride, spoken saying "This meeting is for men" which implies that he humiliates Osugo as not a man and not should be in the clan. This attitude of Okonkwo struck and upset people, especially the men who heard the humiliation. The men reacted taking the side of the other man Osugo. In short, they stand against Okonkwo's attitude, and the oldest man take part reminding Okonkwo to not forget to be humble despite of his success.

If I were a Japanese American, I might have the following reactions:
The memories of internment still make me sad and angry. But I am happy that the president himself has admitted "that serious injustices were done to Japanese Americans during World War II." The president’s apology is a sincere effort to heal the emotional scars of the Japanese American community.
The president’s apology doesn't undo the damage that was done. But the lines "We must learn from the past" and "we can guarantee a future with liberty and justice" give me hope that no other ethnic group will be targeted in that way again.
