1. The image depicts a black and white photograph taken in San Leandro, California during April 1942. It shows several individuals working on an agricultural farm as part of the last shipment to market before Japanese Americans were evacuated for relocation during World War II by the U.S. War Relocation Authority. The people are seen tending tomato plants, bunching young shoots for sale or storage prior to their evacuation and housing in various relocation centers across the country due to wartime concerns about loyalty and internment of American citizens deemed potential security risks. The photograph captures a moment from history where community members were engaged in farming activities amidst the broader context of racial discrimination, forced displacement, and incarceration faced by Japanese Americans during World War II. The text on top provides historical background information, emphasizing that it is an original file related to US War relocation authority documentation numbered 145-208 with a photo credit given to Dorothea Lange (Per NARA).
