TITLE "First Impression of Manzanar (June 1942)" DESCRIPTION "First Impression of Manzanar (June 1942)" Watercolor, by Kango Takamura CONTEXT "This was my first impression of Manzanar. Oh, it's really so hot, you see, and the wind blows. There's no shade at all. It's miserable, really. But one year after, it's quite a change. A year after they built the camp and put water there, the green grows up. And mentally everyone is better. That's one year after." Kango Takamura, in Beyond Words: Images from America's Concentration Camps CREDIT Kango Takamura Courtesy of Cornell University Press DATE June 1942 |
