    Speaker was at one time considered one of the three greatest AL outfielders along with Cobb and Ruth. Kind of an odd pose....talk about pulling the ball. LOL

    An interesting feature of men's wear from that era: a belt loop in-line with front zippers/button flys.

    Amazing that they were still smiling. :) -- Seen in your 1930s-40s in Color set. (?)

    I am wondering/pondering the same thing. Why?

    I love that they always kept their morale up even though they were being held in camps like prisoners. They managed to continue living as if they would outside of those camp walls.

    Smiling politely at the camera, with a dignity all their own. What happened to the Japanese internees was really shameful.

    If you see lots of internment photos and films, as I have, the incarcerees usually look happy. These were their family photos, not conscious documentation of the injustice they were living under. muI think the daily life they built in the camps, which was filled with a lot of pretty "normal" activities like employment and pastimes, didn't leave much time for sitting around and looking miserable over the hardships and fundamental betrayal dealt them by the U.S. government. Also, photography by incarcerees was officially banned in the camps though the restriction was eventually relaxed. This undoubtedly caused a lot of negative sights to be hidden from cameras. I've read that Dorothea Lange took a lot of photos that revealed the harsh realities of the internment camps, but I haven't found them online yet -- hopefully they'll be available soon.
