The image depicts a historical moment captured in black and white, showing several individuals at what appears to be an administrative or registration station during World War II. The setting is identified as San Francisco, California on April 6th, 1942, with the context provided by text labels indicating it's related to Japanese ancestry from San Francisco being registered before going into war relocation authority centers.

In the foreground, a young child stands next to an older male figure who seems to be his guardian. The child is wearing a coat and has a round badge pinned on their chest. Behind them are other people standing or seated, including adults dressed in period-appropriate clothing such as coats, dresses, hats, and shoes.

The scene appears somber with the individuals looking directly at the camera, suggesting awareness of being photographed during what was likely an emotionally charged time for those involved. The photograph is credited to Dorothea Lange, a renowned American photographer known for her work documenting social issues including migration patterns during World War II as part of the Wartime Civil Control Administration.

The text labels in the image indicate it's from "US War relocation authority" and serves as an archival piece providing historical context about wartime internment practices.

The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting two individuals working in an agricultural field. They are engaged in the task of picking peas from plants that appear to be in rows, supported by stakes or trellises. The setting suggests a rural area with abundant vegetation.

Both workers wear hats and casual clothing suitable for outdoor labor. One worker is bending slightly over, reaching down towards the ground level where the pea plants grow close together. They hold a bucket or container presumably filled with picked peas in their hands. The other individual stands upright, seemingly attending to another plant row behind them while carrying what looks like a basket.

The photo's caption provides historical context, stating it was taken during April 1942 and is situated at Centerville, California. It mentions young workers of Japanese ancestry who were engaged in picking peas on an Alameda County farm before their evacuation for War Relocation Authority centers. The photograph seems to be part of a collection related to the US War relocation authority.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2021653171/

The image depicts a group of individuals, likely from Japanese ancestry, standing in line during the early 1940s. They are outside a building with an announcement about registration for evacuation and housing under America's War Relocation Authority due to Exclusion Order No. 20.

Several people can be seen wearing winter coats, indicating it might be cold weather at that time. Some of them appear focused on the task ahead while others seem contemplative or concerned. A woman in a coat with fur trim stands out among them, and there are men dressed in suits, some donning hats, which is typical for attire during the mid-20th century.

The photograph bears text at the top that reads "San Francisco, Calif., Apr 1942," providing context to the location and date. Additional information includes a reference number (A-518), photographer's name (Dorothea Lange), and notes about the original file being from US War relocation authority.

The overall mood of the image conveys somberness, as these individuals are partaking in what is likely an involuntary process due to wartime anti-Japanese sentiment. The photograph captures a historical moment during World War II when Japanese Americans faced exclusion and forced relocation by American authorities under military orders.

The image depicts a street scene in Chinatown, San Francisco during April 1942. It shows The Kisen Co., which is a store operated by an individual of Japanese ancestry. This establishment appears to be thriving despite the impending evacuation of persons with Japanese ancestry due to World War II relocation policies. Women are seen walking past the storefront; some wear coats and hats, indicative of cooler weather or fashion norms at the time.

The black-and-white photograph captures a moment in history during the internment era for people of Japanese descent on the West Coast. The store is adorned with signs announcing various sales, such as "50% off" clearance items and real bargains closing out stock. A banner across the front reads "THE KISEN CO." There's also mention of US War relocation authority information at the top.

The scene reflects a contrast between economic activity for some businesses while others faced boycotts due to racial prejudice during that historical period in American history.

The house has two stories with a prominent porch featuring turned columns and decorative brackets under the eaves. A small garden area is visible at the base of the porch steps.

The neighboring home also appears to be a residential dwelling, possibly from an earlier architectural period than the first residence mentioned above it. This second building exhibits classic Victorian design elements such as large windows with ornate surrounds, arched gable vents, and symmetrical facade detailing.

Behind these two houses is another structure which seems more substantial in size compared to Bush Street's other homes. The buildings are surrounded by greenery including shrubs and trees that contribute to the residential ambiance of this area on what appears to be a hilly street within San Francisco.

The photograph carries an important historical context, as it captures part of America’s wartime history involving the internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII. It's labeled with te [...]

Lynzy Billing: The Night Raids

"As I write this today, America’s war in Afghanistan is already being consigned to history, pushed from the world’s consciousness by humanity’s latest round of inhumanity. But there are lessons to be learned from the West’s failures in Afghanistan. Other reporters, notably at The New York Times, have documented the cover-up of casualties from aerial bombardment and the drone war in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. This story is a deep look inside what happened after America embraced the strategy of night raids — quick, brutal operations that went wrong far more often than the U.S. has acknowledged."
