The image depicts a black and white photograph taken in San Leandro, California during April 1942. It shows several individuals working on an agricultural farm as part of the last shipment to market before Japanese Americans were evacuated for relocation during World War II by the U.S. War Relocation Authority. The people are seen tending tomato plants, bunching young shoots for sale or storage prior to their evacuation and housing in various relocation centers across the country due to wartime concerns about loyalty and internment of American citizens deemed potential security risks. The photograph captures a moment from history where community members were engaged in farming activities amidst the broader context of racial discrimination, forced displacement, and incarceration faced by Japanese Americans during World War II. The text on top provides historical background information, emphasizing that it is an original file related to US War relocation authority documentation numbered 145-208 with a photo credit given to Dorothea Lange (Per NARA).

The image depicts a group of individuals, possibly a family, sitting on steps outside what appears to be their home. There are five people in the photograph: four children and one adult woman who is seated prominently in the center. Two young boys sit beside each other; both look directly at the camera with expressions that could suggest curiosity or concern. To the right of these two, a younger boy sits on the steps wearing overalls and shoes indicative of casual wear for manual labor such as gardening. The central figure appears to be an adult woman dressed in attire from what seems like mid-20th century America; she wears a suit with a jacket and skirt, along with heeled boots. She is holding her lapels with one hand while the other rests on her knee. Her facial expression conveys contemplation or worry. To the right of this central figure stands another young boy in overalls similar to that worn by the second child from left. He has a neutral expression and gazes slightly off-camera. The woman's demeanor is notable; she seems both somber and reflective, possibly reflecting on her circumstances given their displacement due to war-related reasons as indicated by the text above the image which references Japanese-American internment during World War II in San Francisco in April 1942. The photo captures a poignant moment of domestic life amidst significant historical upheaval. The photograph is labeled with metadata [...]

Manzanar, Calif. June 1942. Ichiro Okumura, 22, left, from Venice, Calif., and Ben Iguchi, 20, from Saugus, thinning young plants in a two-acre field of white radishes at the War Relocation Authority center for evacuees of Japanese ancestry

The image depicts two men engaged in agricultural work. They are kneeling side by side, tending to young plants growing on a field of white radishes. The man on the left is wearing a light-colored hat and has short hair, while the other wears a wide-brimmed straw hat with darker shades around his face. Both individuals appear focused on their task as they bend down towards the ground. They are dressed in casual clothing suitable for outdoor work: one seems to be wearing dark pants and shoes, whereas the other's lower attire is not fully visible but suggests similar practical garments. The field of radishes stretches across a vast area under an expansive sky with scattered clouds, hinting at ample sunlight. The terrain appears dry and flat, typical of arid regions or well-maintained agricultural fields. At the top left corner, there is text indicating historical context: "Manzanar, Calif., June 1942," along with information about two individuals named Ichiro Okumura, aged 22 from Venice, California, and Ben Iguchi, who was also a resident of Saugus. The mention suggests that these men are Japanese Americans evacuees under the War Relocation Authority's program during World War II. Overall, the image captures a moment in time where two individuals dedicatedly work amidst challenging circumstances to support themselves and their community through agriculture.

The image displays a historical document, specifically an official letter from "Pacific Dry Goods Company," dated April 1942. It appears in a show window of the company's location at Grant Avenue in Chinatown, San Francisco. The context suggests that it was posted during World War II as part of wartime measures against Japanese descent individuals who were subjected to forced relocation under US Army Exclusion Order No. 20. The document is titled "PACIFIC DRY GOODS COMPANY" with its name prominently displayed in large, elegant script on a dark background. Below the company's title, there is an official letterhead from the War Relocation Authority, which contains text that seems to be part of an administrative communication or notification related to wartime relocation policies. In addition to the document itself, various inscriptions and labels are present around it: - At the top left corner: "San Francisco, Calif., Apr. 1942." - Below the company's name in a rectangular box with additional information on its right side. - A handwritten note at the bottom of this box states: "A letter of appreciation posted in a show window of the Pacific Dry Goods Company, Grant Avenue..." - Further down and to the left is more text stating where evacuees could go under exclusion order No. 20 and for relocation authority centers. These annotations provide context about when and why such documents were displayed and highlight their hi [...]

San Francisco, Calif. Apr. 1942. A view of the business district on Post Street in a neighborhood occupied by residents of Japanese ancestry before evacuation and housing in War Relocation Authority centers for the duration of the war

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene from San Francisco, California in April 1942. The setting appears to be the historic business district on Post Street within a neighborhood that was previously inhabited by Japanese Americans before their evacuation and housing in War Relocation Authority centers during World War II. Several old-fashioned buildings with ornate architectural details line both sides of the street. Storefronts, including Nippon Ora Co., Chop Suey, Ching's Drug Company, and Cherryland Hardware store, are visible along the storefront windows. The businesses have signs in English alongside Japanese language text, indicating their diverse customer base. The streetscape features a row of parked cars from an earlier era, suggesting that this photo was taken during or shortly after World War II when such vehicles were common on American roads. There's also a streetcar visible further down the road and pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. Above the photograph is handwritten text providing context for its historical significance: "San Francisco, Calif. Apr 1942," followed by additional notes about Japanese ancestry residents before evacuation and housing in war relocation authority centers during World War II. The handwriting indicates that it was possibly recorded or transcribed by someone who had seen this photo at a later date. The photograph appears to be an origin [...]
