Untitled (Memorial Service at Memorial Monument, Manzanar)
c. 1945

A black and white photograph of a group of people, including children and adults, gathered around a microphone stand next to a tall monument with Japanese characters. The people are dressed in a mix of Western and traditional Japanese attire, suggesting a cultural or commemorative event. A young girl in the foreground looks back towards the camera. The setting appears to be outdoors with a clear sky and sparse vegetation in the background.
