Japanese Americans--Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945--Photographs

Full title:What by general consent is one of the most attractively arranged fruit and vegetable stands in the busy downtown Home Public Market in Denver, Colorado, operated by George Hirabayashi (3rd from left) and Ted Hayashida (5th from left), voluntary evacuees who ran a similar business in San Francisco, California, before Pearl Harbor. Hirabayashi and Hayashida, both Nisei, employ six other Japanese Americans, including Johnny Kuratomi and Mary Ashita, evacuees from the Poston Arizona, relocation center. The other four are native Coloradoans. The Home Public Market houses a variety of commercial enterprises. Neither of the proprietors has made plans for returning to California. They agreed that their business was so good as to make them think twice before leaving Denver. Although Hirabayashi and Hayashida know little of relocation centers except by hearsay, they declared that leading normal lives in the outside world obviously was preferable to being cooped up in narrow communities and leading regimented lives.<lb/> Photographer: Aoyama, Bud<lb/> Denver, Colorado.
