Topic: New Yorker: The Colors of Japanese Internment

[EarlJam]

For the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, The New Yorker is featuring a number of color images taken at the Heart Mountain camp in Wyoming. As noted in the article, internee Bill Manbo used a Contax and Kodachrome, photographing life in the camp in 1943 and 1944. Manbo's are the only photographs of the camps taken on color film.

Thanks for sharing that, definitely a different view of the camps being color.  They also mention Toyo Miyatak in the article, that's an interesting story of how he was able to build a camera and take photos at the Manzanar camp.
