Despite the trauma of their incarceration during World War II, Japanese Americans built new lives while detained at concentration camps like Manzanar. They played baseball, planted gardens and made the honor roll. Three renowned photographers captured these scenes: outsiders Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams and incarceree Tōyō Miyatake who boldly smuggled in a camera lens to document life from within the camp. All three trained their lenses on small yet profound moments of dignity and domesticity, documenting resilience in the face of civil injustice. 00:00-01:47 Introduction 01:47-12:19 Photos by Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams 12:19-17:47 Monument and Revisiting Photos 17:47-25:33 Photos by Tōyō Miyatake 25:33-25:59 Conclusion 25:59-26:40 Credits Want to learn more?
