Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a crowd of people gathered together on a sidewalk in Chinatown. A street spans the width of the bottom edge and stretches back on an angle through the foreground from left to right. It is lined by a sidewalk along its back or left side. In the near distance at center, about 20 people stand crowded together on the sidewalk. A few at right stand in the street. Most face towards camera. Behind them, a fence lines the back edge of the sidewalk. The fence is topped with barbed wire. Beyond the fence, a vacant lot sits. Brick buildings stand across the background.
