Internment

The War Relocation Authority (WRA) organized the removal of Japanese Americans so that members of nearby communities traveled together first to the same assembly center beginning in April, 1942, and then, when the camps were ready to occupy, to the same internment camp about six months later. Photographers hired by the WRA including Dorothea Lange, Tom Parker, and Joe McClelland documented the internment experience from leaving home to assembly and then internment as you can see in the sets of slides with the original captions that are part of this activity.
