Description
Full title:Frank Higa came to Washington, D.C., in October of 1943 to take a job as a laboratory technician in order to relocate his entire family to Washington. Frank, a Nisei and former farm operator in 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, Shizu, who works full time in the store, George, who attends school and works 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.", .
