Description
Full title:Frank Higa, his sister, Shizu, and brother, George, in Frank's grocery store in Washington, D.C. Frank came to Washington in October of 1943 to take a job as a laboratory technician in order to relocate his entire family. Frank, who is a Nisei and former farm operator from California, opened his grocery store in September, 1944. Frank's store has been successful enough to permit his whole family to come to Washington to join him. The family consists of his sister who works full time in the store, his brother who attends school and helps part time in the store, and their mother, Mrs. Kana Higa. They all formerly resided at Heart Mountain Relocation Center. Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen "Washington, D.C.", .
