San Francisco, Calif., Mar. 1942 photo by Dorothea Lange. This is a photo of a Grocery owened by a Japanese American. He unfurled this banner after the Pearl Harbor attacks. I chose this one because he put this banner up before he could have had any idea what was going to happen to the Japanese-Americans during the war. He simply wanted people to know that was something his former country did, but that he was an american now. This shows the effect of the World War, even if the Grocer had not been Japanese. I think this looks very similar to what we saw all over the United States the day after September 11. Very Moving.
