Description
Full title:Dr. John Shimokawa, who graduated from the Kansas City Dental College in the spring of 1944, has recently started a private practice as an assistant to a Caucasian dentist in the heart of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. Shimokawa teaches at the Dental College in the daytime and takes care of the Caucasian dentist's night appointments. Born in Hawaii, Dr. Shimokawa was a student at the University of Southern California at the time of evacuation. I enjoyed my six months at Santa Anita and six months at Granada, Dr. Shimokawa said, because I got a year off from studies. His brother is a practicing M.D. in Hawaii where the rest of Dr. Shimokawa's family live. His patient is Shizuko Yanaga, one of 270 resettlers in Kansas City, Missouri. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Kansas City, Missouri.
