Free Speech Canto LXIX

Michael Ceraolo

Dorothea Lange was hired as a photographer
by the War Relocation Authority,
(such
a benign-sounding name,
conjuring
up images of kindly government folk
giving assistance to those
who were voluntarily moving
from one place to another;
it was anything but)
She took almost 800 photographs
of the several steps involved:
some photos pre-evacuation,
some of the roundup,
some of the assembly centers
where those who had been rounded up
awaited transportation to one
of the concentration camps,
and
some from one of the camps,
Manzanar
Because
her photos showed the Japanese-Americans
as human beings, not monsters,
the Authority nexed them,
and
they remained mostly unpublished and unseen
for over sixty years
