Description
A photograph of the Mananzar Memorial Monument. The captions read: The Manzanar cemetery monument designed and built by R.F. Kaddo, a landscape architect and stone mason, was completed in August, 1943. When informed that the former camp site had been designated as a historical landmark by the States of California, Mr. Kaddo Stated, "I built it for all the Japanese people and I built it to last a long, long time.'" and "The Manzanar Memorial Monument, built August of 1943 in the center of the Manzanar Monument." A page from: Manzanar, a photograph essay (csudh_uye_0001).
The Chris S. Uyemura Manzanar Photograph Collection consists of a pictorial essay, “Manzanar, a photographic essay,” and additional loose photos, which were compiled and collected by Chris S. Uyemura. The essay contains photographs, texts, and newspaper clippings, and was submitted to Professor Donald T. Hata of the Department of History at CSU Dominguez Hills. The collection depicts the incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry in the Manzanar camp during World War II as well as reflects the events, contrasting with photographs of the Manznar National Historic Site, which illustrates what is left of the camp today. The collection was originally named as “Asian Pacific Studies Collection Box 14.”
