Japanese-American girls in a WWII internment camp

Posted on January 20, 2008 by

This morning I was checking out the pictures on the Library of Congress’ amazing new Flickr archive, and I ran across this startling photo of Japanese-american girls in an internment camp in 1942 or 43. 

The smiles on their lovely young faces just breaks my heart a little. It reminds me of how far we have come in only a few decades.  And how far we have to go to realize Dr. King’s dream of a world without color lines.
