Myer, Director of the War Relocation Authority, addressed the Tuesday Evening Club in Pasadena, California providing a detailed overview of the War Relocation Program, efforts to distinguish pro-Japanese individuals by registration, and the challenges faced such as the Tule Lake strike. The collection contains material used by Carey McWilliams in writing the book, Prejudice: Japanese Americans, symbol of racial intolerance (Little, Brown, 1944). It includes U.S. War Relocation Authority records, confidential reports, bibliographies, clippings and compilations of articles, legal papers, correspondence between McWilliams and Japanese American evacuees, relocation camp newspapers and other publications, two copies of his book, and five copies of the 1994 videocassette (40 min.), Something Strong Within.
