Description
Nearly all the seats are filled inside the car of a train or bus on "evacuation" night. The passengers appear to consist of three generations, including young children, adults, and seniors. The Risinger Photograph Collection consists of prints and negatives taken by Joseph Risinger (10/22/1913 - 03/24/2007). Risinger was a staff photographer for the Long Beach Independent and Press-Telegram papers from the 1940s through the 1970s.
