Description
A photocopy of a comic strip of Lil' Neebo-- the cartoon boy who was created to represent all Nisei-- which refers to the children born in North and South America to Japanese immigrants. This comic strip relates to item csudh_oka_0063. In this comic strip, Lil' Neebo receives a letter from Los Angeles, as they refer to Wilshire Blvd., a prominent street in Los Angeles. This perhaps means that Lil' Neebo is in an incarceration camp, and is receiving mail from his friends from Los Angeles. Item from Misao Okada’s album. Misao Okada’s scrapbook contains photographs, ephemera, notes, and correspondence documenting her time at Amache and a visit and reunion over 50 years later. The scrapbook also includes materials relating to reparations and events observing Japanese American incarceration.
