Description

Black and white photo of a barrack-lined dirt street at Manzanar War Relocation Center. Sierra Nevada mountains in background. Writing on the back of the photo says, "Hiro Yamazaki". The barrack in the foreground seems to have a sign hanging from it (shaped like an artist's palette) and an address or label beneath it. Writing on envelope indicates that this is or may be Block 8, Building 15, but Manzanar ranger Rose Masters suggests that it may be Block 6, based on the number of barracks/blocks between the photographer and the mountains. This photo was likely taken during Memorial Day of 1942.
