Abstract

In 1942, shortly after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 with the intention of preventing espionage. The result was forced relocation and incarceration of 110,000 to 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry in the western part of the country. Collection consists of a black and white photograph on the subject of the Japanese WWII Relocation.
