Dorothea Lange, Manzanar Concentration Camp, 1942 (University of California, Berkeley, Bancroft Library, The Bancroft Library’s War Relocation Authority collection, WRA no. 838).The Bancroft Library, the superb collection of Americana at Cal, currently is hosting a special exhibit ‘Never again’ about the imprisonment of Americans with Japanese heritage in concentration camps located in some of the most environmentally hostile parts of the West. Wish I had plans to be in the Bay Area before the end of June in order to see the exhibit. The imprisonment is one of the blackest spots in 20th century US history and the Bancroft Collection includes important documentation of the atrocity. -- source link
